Solve problems of drifting snow now
Washington Evening Journal reports extending windbreaks and snow fences to control drifting snow on farms. Extension experts recommend 8 foot fences with 1 to 1.5 inch gaps or 2 inch gaps for 12 inch boards, and plan lengths based on wind fetch. A practical defense uses an L-shaped windbreak to redirect drifts and notes memory of past storms as best guide for placement.
