For whatever it is worth, they used to call snow "poor farmer's
fertilizer". The snow supposedly picks up some nitrogen from the air on
its way down, and when it melts the nitrogen goes into the ground,
helping to enrich the soil. So dumping snow on fields would not have
been a Bad Thing to do.

When I lived in Canada they did pick up the snow. he banks would get
too high and they would then cut down the banks and use a huge show
blower to load it up in trucks and haul it to an empty field where it
cold stack over winter, and then melt off in Summer. (the two months it
would melt)
