Which can be much harder to keep clear. Here in Minnesota, USA we get both large amounts of snow and high winds. It's not unusual to have whiteout blizzard conditions and MNDot (Department of Transportation) warning against any travel in some parts of the state..

They can clear a road only to have the wind cover it with snow again an hour later.

I live on top of a hill so I'm well acquainted with what happens when winds gust to 40mph after Mother Nature has dumped 6" of snow on us. Wind-packed snowdrifts suck ass!
