<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">floats</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('drift' can be a synonym of 'float')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for drifts that I've seen before include "Wanders around" , "piles!" , "Floats along aimlessly" , "problems with snow" , "Heaps of snow blown by the wind" .)
