We had that every winter at Loring AFB a little north of Caribou Maine. I remember six foot or more snow walls on both sides of my sidewalk in base housing. By the end of winter I could barely reach the top with my snow shovel!

I was up by Loring on Saturday snowmobiling. I noticed one area where they were pushing snow OFF the snowmobile trails, and the various markers along the trails which are normally four feet high were only just showing, and the snow cats had been pushing snow away from the stop signs a little before the road crossings.
 
I guess I am old then we Still do this here when we have too nothing at all to have cows walking over fences here after a storm or two
 
Back in the late 70's I was working on a dam on the Columbia River in B.C. They recorded 46 feet of snow. The drive back in the spring was through huge walls of snow blown with very large snow blowers. One camp had two story bunkhouses and they put beer to cool out the top story windows into snow. They used large loaders to haul snow off the streets and then cut tunnels into houses.

I personally have witnessed a few snow storms here in southwest Iowa where a guy could actually walk right over the top of fences.
 
My 96 year old mom grew up in NW Iowa. She and her sisters talk about stepping over the phone wires while walking to school. Trains couldn't get coal thru to the coal yards so people could heat their homes.
 
I guess its not as bad as the mud so deep I cant get a bale to the feeder with a MFDW tractor!
 
Been there done that a couple of times in the past. Next comes the river of water and mud. Made for lousy milking in a stanchion barn. Don't miss it.
