Default snow pulling exhaust pipes apart

i have any '88 mustang 2.3 and am wondering if anyone else is suffereing with the same problem i am. in the last 3 weeks have had to repair my exhaust 3 times because the snow off the road keeps pulling the pipes apart. I dont know what the problem is because i never had this happen any previous years. I'm not sure what the solution is either.

well there is a pipe i replaced just before the muffler and it has a bit of a curve in it. every time the pipes pull apart it is where that pipe connects to the muffler. its almost like the snow is catching the muffler and pushing it back while i drive. also the tail pipe seems like it is not sitting correctly. it is sort of covered partialy by the bumper.

well i crawled under the car once more to take a look at it. This problem is becoming quite irritating. I put it back together again, and it appears that i may not have had the clamp far enough on the overlap in the pipes. So we will see how it goes this time and keep my fingers crossed.
