In places where we're used to getting lots of snow, we do actually have "snow pits" for a lack of a better term. These are several empty lots turned into grassy holes in the ground, with sides maybe 15 feet high and several culverts around the bottom. In winters with lots of snow, snow plows and dump trucks can load up with all the excess snow and ice and dump them in there. In the summertime, they usually turn into soccer fields or the like.
