One last thing... is it windward or leeward?
The windward side is the side facing into the wind. If the wind is from
the north, and the fence faces north-south (and thus runs east-west),
the north side of the fence is the windward side, and the south side is
the leeward side (the 'protected' side).
>From most of what you have said I would venture to say that a snow fence
need only be on one side of the road to stop snow from a prevailing
wind, though on both sides if wind is unpredictable.
So folks, is it windward or leeward?
