Przyspa

A przyspa is a Polish word referring to a snowdrift or snowbank, typically formed by wind action. It describes an accumulation of snow that has been piled up against an object (like a fence, building, or tree) or in a sheltered area. The size and density of a przyspa can vary greatly depending on snowfall amounts, wind strength, and the terrain. Przyspy can be significant obstacles in winter landscapes, impacting travel and accessibility. The term is commonly used in areas that experience substantial snowfall.
