ours too, Bean -- but you can't find a pretty on-line picture of ours.

check out the other link I added above for 'snowberg'...

several years ago we took a winter vacation, and there was a big snowstorm whilst we were away. we had arranged for snow removal from our walks by the neighbors, but we returned in the midst of the storm, were diverted to Duluth where we stayed in the tiny Duluth airport(?) for 24 hours, and returned home to find a 3-foot ice-dam (no mere windrow, this) at the end of the driveway, courtesy of the city snow plows. we had to use an ice-ax, as even the Brookstone ice chopper/scraper wouldn't have fazed it.
