After the big storm of New Years 1999, I trekked out from my apartment to the lake front at Belmont Harbor. That storm had lots of snow and lots of wind. There were drifts 15' high on parts of the breakwater, and ice dunes from the harbor south to Fullerton.
I was out at Montrose Harbor a few weeks ago and they were still there, although I expect that they've melted by now.
