Snow drift right outside our back door

This drifting snow is all along the back of our house.  In the 40 years we've lived here, I've never seen it drift like this in this area.  I know the boys would have loved this pre-made fort when they were young.....so far the only occupant has been a kitty cat that ended up just passing through...at least, I think it was a kitty cat from the paw prints left behind.
