Evolution of "The Blob" Snowdrift

Early March, The Blob is now melting and smaller, but also now ugly. Warmer here lately, windy, but warm wind is both melting and exposing layers of dirt blown onto the drift earlier as well as new dirt the wind left on the drift. Baby gate temporary fence hopefully gets put away this weekend and dogs get back a bit more of the yard Did I mention we will be installing a new dog yard in the front of the house this summer?

 

All you here always crack me up, I appreciate the laughs

 

will711 , any ideas on slowing this yearly snow drift? The caraganas you advised to prune selectively rather than a buzz cut are behind the drift (and no, we did not touch them yet ). The funky wood fence is from 6'-8' high depending on different sections. Russian Olive to the right is neighbors.

The drift gets higher than our 4' cattle fence and our beloved couch potato family dogs can literally walk over the fence, we lost one for days our first winter here it was terrible, so WWW wants a new yard out front so they have more room opposed to the very small yard they end up with in the back every winter. I'd rather keep the yard out back, the door I use for them for the back yard is very convenient for me. A new front yard would put them at the mercy of the of the UPS or FedEx guys closing the gate properly, and one of them is here daily......... And, those poor guys may get licked and greeted to death or muddy paws on their uniform if they deliver while the dogs are out front.

 

Ah yes, the famous western winds attack everything, including snow drifts.

 

Spring!
