snow pile
Plowed roadside accumulation
A snow pile is an accumulation of snow that has been pushed, shoveled, or plowed into a mound.
Snow piles form at the edges of cleared driveways, parking lots, and roads after snowplows pass: The kids climbed the giant snow pile in the parking lot.
They persist long after surrounding snow melts, often becoming dirty and compacted with ice.
