Those poles that are sticking out the ground,are they there to mark the boundries of the river?

They have those reflectors all along all the roads here as if you go off the road you are in about 2 feet of snow and get stuck. When the storms come through (or Blows as they are called here) you can sometimes only see 1 or 2 reflectors and then sometimes you just have to sit and wait for the weather to get good enough to go again and then you need heavy equipment to move the snowdrifts - people have been trapped for 3 or 4 days in the past....
