deep snow
Thigh-high white powder
Snow that has accumulated to a significant depth, typically enough to impede walking or require effort to move through.
Deep snow buries lower obstacles and creates drifts: The car got stuck in deep snow.
The phrase often signals difficult conditions for travel or outdoor activity: We waded through deep snow to reach the cabin.
