snow mound

Accumulated white heap

A snow mound is a heap or pile of snow, typically formed by plowing, shoveling, or natural accumulation from wind and drifting.

Snow mounds appear in parking lots after plowing, along sidewalks after shoveling, and in yards where children build them for play: The kids climbed the snow mound at the edge of the lot.
