That is exactly what crossed my mind when this happen.
So this year was a little different because like the so called drought of the century. We received more snow in a single winter than whatever record they have been tracking. With that came another polar vortex . . .
There was so much snow I didn't know what to do with it as our property isn't very big. So like the Japanese I figured if I can't go wider go taller!
I know its hard to get perspective but the snow is seven feet high in this photo. I made a very long run way down my front yard to help me push the snow further away while stacking it higher.
