Yes.. the drifting is always worse than the snowing, although
usually the drifts are fairly solid so you can snowshoe or
snowmobile over them without sinking out of sight.

I used to spend all winter here on the shores of Georgian Bay,
although in recent years I've spent the worst of the winter in
Parry Sound. Back then I often had to snowshoe out to get the
mail or to get to my car (both about a mile from the house) and
I purposely bought oversized snowshoes (250 lb capacity) instead
of lighter ones to match my 160 lb frame because they would keep
you from sinking so badly, and I was still at times sinking to
my knees through fluffy snow.. Walk a 2 mile round trip in that
and it's like jogging 15 miles in summer..
