Last summer, while driving through the vast open spaces surrounding Denver International Airport (DIA), I was impressed by the equally vast array of snow fences, which seemed to stretch for miles. (Later, after driving up 14,200 foot Pikes Peakbelieve it or notI caught a shot of an isolated snow shower during late summer,snow fence

After seeing so many miles of snow fences, I began to wonder whether these decidedly low-tech, old-fashioned structures were as valuable today, in this age of technology, as they were in the past. Although I knew the answer would be yes otherwise they wouldnt still be built I wanted to investigate the cost-benefit ratio of the fences in serious snow country. But before expanding on the present-day utility of snow fences, it might be worthwhile to provide a brief history of how snow-clearing efforts evolved in the U.S.

( University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service - A typical snow fence.) Snow fences are actually an ancient technology. Archaeologists have discovered what they believe is a 20-foot section of snow fencing near Stonehenge (circa 3000 B.C.) on Englands Salisbury Plain, an indication of what the English climate might have been like at that time.

Geologist/geophysicist Dr. Garry Denke believes the fence was used to channel drifting snow in predictable ways, possibly for water storage.

On the other hand, theres also a theory that the fence may have been constructed to prevent prying peasant eyes from viewing ceremonial Stonehenge activities.

During the colonial era, deep snows often crippled mail service and overall commerce for daysand even weeksat a time. Although snow-clearing ordinances werent yet in widespread use, cities and towns generally took A September snow shower from near the top of Pikes Peak matters into their own hands, clearing drifts so the sleighs could get through.

Ranchers learned that by erecting snow fences near the windward side of roadways and other areas they wanted to shield, significant savings in time and money could be achieved by minimizing snow-clearing operations.

Later, despite technological advances such as the Barber-Green Snowloader (introduced in Chicago in 1920), which plowed, scooped and dumped the snow into haulers, snow fences still maintained their popularity. At small airports, for example, runway-clearing costs could be greatly reduced by minimizing snow depth in critical areas. Overall, the sheer simplicity of snow fences struck a chord with farmers, ranchers, highway workers and the general public.

Today, in conjunction with many new and ingenious snow-clearing devices, such as the Next Generation Snow Plow, the Single-Lane-Obstructing Rotary Snow Plow, etc., snow fences have retained their popularity. In fact, theyve even been improved upon, as the Japanese have developed a blower snow fence, which increases air flow in the area of the fence, resulting in even less blowing snow on the roadway.

( University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service - A September snow shower from near the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado.) So what exactly is a snow fence and how does it accomplish its task?

TRAVERSE CITY City officials will take a peek at regulating fences after hearing complaints about 10-foot high masonry walls around residences along Division Street.

Traverse City planning commissioners directed staff to research a fence ordinance after decades of straddling what's been a contentious issue. Planners have considered an ordinance four times since 1977, but never acted.

The lack of city guidelines for fence building coupled with recent construction of a nearly 10-foot high cement wall on the west side of Division Street prompted residents Pat and Dennis LaBelle to request city action.

"It's a perfect time to address this because it's so ugly, it just sticks out, it really does," Pat LaBelle said of the new wall. "That's a good example of how bad it can get."

Such walls reduce neighborhood safety by obstructing views and give tourists the wrong impression of Traverse City, the LaBelles said.

"The unintentional message these high, solid walls sends to visitors is that there are potential crime issues and that people are not welcome in this area," the LaBelles wrote in a letter to the planning commission.

Kathie Scott lives at Fifth Street and Division and has heard criticism that residential walls make Division Street look like Detroit. She shrugs it off.

"Tough, you don't live here," she said of wall critics.

Scott tried wood fences and cedar shrubs but said they didn't help block traffic noise from busy Division Street.

"We were not able to have a conversation in the back-yard until the traffic clears, and do you know how often the traffic clears on Division?" Scott said. "Not very often."

The fences are being moved in at Safeco Field for next season. From a practical standpoint, it should aid the Seattle Mariners offense, which could use the help.

The Mariners have finished last in the American League in scoring in each of the last three seasons. They cracked 600 runs for the first time in three years in 2012, but their total of 619 was 48 fewer than that any other team in the AL.

While Safeco Field will remain a pitcher-friendly park, Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik says the shortening of the field will give his hitters as much of a mental boost as a physical one.

"The marine air is very cool in the spring, and sometimes it's that way into June, and the ball just does not carry well because of it," Zduriencik says. "Guys will hit the ball well in Arizona and come out of spring training feeling really good. Then they come home and the ball doesn't carry, and I think that affects them. When you hit a ball pretty good and it gets run down in front of the warning track, it can be discouraging.

"I realize the park is going to play smaller for both teams. We're going to hit more home runs, and we're going to give up more home runs. From a mental standpoint, though, I think we're going to benefit from it."

Fences from the left-field line to right-center field will be moved in up to 17 feet closer next season. To further help the offense, the Mariners have pursued a number of big-name free agent outfielders, including Josh Hamilton, Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher.

Hamilton agreed to terms with the rival Los Angeles Angels last week. Free agent catcher-first baseman Mike Napoli was intrigued enough to visit Seattle. However, he signed with the Boston Red Sox for three years and $39 million.

Zduriencik says he is finding free agent hitters are more open-minded about the Mariners because of the changes being made at Safeco Field.

"It's come up in more than one conversation with agents," Zduriencik says. "It has gotten people's attention. Before, some agents would be hesitant to even talk to us about their free agents because of the park."

One free agent who signed with the Mariners was outfielder Jason Bay, who hit a combined .234 with 26 home runs in three miserable seasons with the New York Mets after signing a four-year, $66 million contract as a free agent. (The sides agreed to terminate the contract a year early.)

Mariners hope moved-in fences could aid offense

MARYSVILLE, Ohio As bad as the snow has been in Union County this week, one notoriously wicked stretch of highway fared better than usual.

The drifts along Rt. 31, a primarily north/south highway that runs north out of Marysville, were reduced by the installation this year of several miles of snow fencing which probably will be appreciated again today because more snow was expected to fall.

The Ohio Department of Transportation ramped up its snow-fence program this year, installing 73 percent more than last winter. In ODOTs District 6, which includes Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Pickaway and Union counties, Union County was the big winner. Its almost 10 miles of fencing is more than any other area countys.

The temporary fencing, installed for several miles alongRt. 31 less than 100 feet from the western edge of the highway, couldnt stop everything. But it sure didnt hurt, said Dan Simpson, a resident of the Northeast Side of Columbus who had spent Christmas with relatives in Toledo and returned home on Rt. 31 in the middle of Wednesdays snowstorm.

Simpson stopped for gas at the edge of Marysville and said the areas lined with fencing seemed clearer and more passable.

Hard to tell in snow like this, he said as took a minute to scrape ice and snow from his windshield and side mirrors. But I drive enough to know anything that stops even a little bit of snow cant hurt.

Wednesdays storm, which dumped several inches of snow across central Ohio and nearly8 inches on Union County, was the fences first test of the season. Forecasters expect as much as4 inches more by this afternoon.

State workers also installed fencing this year in Delaware County along several miles of Rt. 42 north of Delaware and near the interchange of Rts. 36/37 and I-71. Marion County also saw a big increase this year.

DANGER: A bushfire in Chidlow destroyed four sheds and fences last night. Source: PerthNow

FIREFIGHTERS will continue to monitor a Chidlow bushfire which destroyed four sheds, fences and threatened homes and property last night.

At the height of the blaze last night about 75 firefighters from 15 fire stations were involved in fighting the fire, which took hold in an area bounded by Old Northam Road, Doconing Road and Great Eastern Highway in the eastern part of Chidlow in the Shire of Mundaring.

The fire was reported at 7.48pm last night and was caused when a privately-owned power pole collapsed and set fire to surrounding grass.

It destroyed four out-buildings, fences and burnt 15ha of bush and farmland.

A Bushfire Advice has been reissued for people in an area bounded by Old Northern Road, Haigh Road, Progress Drive, Ash Road and Betty Street in the eastern part of Chidlow in the Shire of Mundaring.

Twenty four volunteer Bush Fire Service firefighters are on the scene strengthening containment lines and mopping up the fire area today. The air surveillance helicopter surveyed the scene this morning finding a number of hot spots. Firefighters will work today to extinguish the hot spots. Bushfire behaviour

The bushfire is no longer moving and there is no longer ember attack. It is contained and under control. Firefighters have been aided by an easing of the wind.

Dec. 24, 2012, 4 a.m.

CONCERNED farmers around Narromine say they are not happy about a number of fences left flattened by bulldozers clearing land for pipework to theTomingley Gold Project.

About four farms have been affected by the work, undertaken by Aqua West Pty Ltd (pump and irrigation specialists) in conjunction with the Tomingley Gold Project and Alkane Resources Ltd.

The fences were flattened as a result of trees that were bulldozed along the fence line.

Resident and farmer Tony Corderoy said Aqua West were still bulldozing at the time of print and there was a great pile of trees and wood where the fence used to be.

"I received a few distressed phone calls from neighbours and I know four farms have been affected in this area. What I'm disappointed about is that there was no consultation with property owners whatsoever," he said.

Mr Corderoy's biggest concern was that his cattle that could get loose and make their way onto the road and get hit, causing an accident in the process.

"I'm very disappointed that we weren't notified of damage to our properties. It would've been courteous of them to let us know.

"I want Aqua West to fix it because there is a lot of wood pushed on the fence because of the 40-foot gum trees.

"It's a very lengthy process to fix and it took a long time to put together. I don't understand why they didn't just use a chainsaw, which would've made a difference.
