That is piles of snow in traffic islands and the entrance/exit from parking lots that prevent anyone from seeing if traffic or pedestrians are coming. <BR/><BR/>Some people who lives up north have little orange balls on their car antennas so they can be seen above the drifts and most gas stations have them near the brushes/ice scrapers. I don't even know where to get it here.Mark G.
