    Third time is the charm? Our The Blob snowdrift is alive and growing. 3rd temporary fence, all extra wire fencing embedded in snow, using the baby gates we had around the the 2 woodstoves a couple years ago:rofl: :lol: I am guessing the crest towards the rear is 15' high:picard:

    Next day, not sure if the dirt lines are the layer before the last few feet deposited on top of the old one? Either way the sun was great to see today:)

    The beginning of our 2015/2016 Blob Snowdrift
    Normal dog fence to the rear snowed over, so new one with log post leaned over on it so temp will not blow over with heavy wind/snow:
    upload_2016-2-5_20-45-31.png

    Below is more wind building the Blob Drift that eventually took over the first temp fence near the bushes on the right, so temp fence #2 put up and eventually taken over.

    End result is the small baby gated yard in the first post:rofl: :lol::whistle::rofl: :lol:
