What IS The Purpose of a Snow Fence?
2009 October 5
I must confess I’ve always wondered about what the purpose of a snow fence is along Lake Michigan? Does anyone really think those pourous fences will stop the snow? Usually the snow drifts right over those fences. One would think the fence was built to keep the snow from progressing from that point forward but these fences have holes in them between the boards.
Can anyone elighten me as to what purpose snow fences really serve?
