Snow fence? You mean to tell me there is someplace in America where the highway departments still use snow fences? They used to use them here along spots known to have snow drifting across the road and they worked very well to curb that. Nowadays, they are gone! Flat out disappeared from usage. And those spots along the highways here, notorious for the drifting and blowing snow landing on the road are also now very well known for the many accidents that happen almost every year, many with extremely dire consequences too! Seems to me the state of PA tossed the baby out with the bathwater on that deal.
Well, I never actually saw this snow fence until they were all rolled up in a collecting yard in downtown Chicago. I believe the parks and rec department in Chicago use them in certain areas during the winter. We don't see much snow fence any more either ... however, I saw it not that long ago being used as a homerun fence in Hick-ville, Illinois. I won't say the real town name because I have many friends that live in that town ... and I don't think they actually have flush toilets yet. NikonSniper Steve
