There are bare spots in the house yard from snow blowing off making large drifts. This core sample was taken from the corn field where not much drifting has occurred. My elevation is 960' with a minimum of 5 miles view of the landscape and don't see any bare spots in any of the fields. What fence lines that are left have deep drifts along them, road banks EW & NS have large snow banks that were pushed back earlier this winter with end loaders. This report is 90% accurate since I didn't get the ice under the snow.
