To cover or bury with drifts, such as snow drifts; to drift over completely.
From 'be-' (intensive/causative) + 'drift' (to be carried by water or wind, or a mass of drifted material). 'Drift' comes from Old Norse 'drift,' meaning a driving or carried object.
A house 'bedrifted' by a blizzard isn't just in a snowdrift—it's completely surrounded and buried by drifts on all sides, creating a 'drift jail' of snow!
