They appear in short bursts and clusters in areas prone to drifting -
The old ones are wood; the newer ones harsher, metal -
Other types of prairie fences are buck fences and barbwire fences, but those don't do much to stop snow drift.
My February journal quilt is titled Snow Fences - but the title is an afterthought. Or rather, a midway-thought, helping to shape something new out of something old -
The blue and white (you have to look hard for the white) hand embroidery is from a larger, longer piece that was abandoned goodness knows when. But it was just the right height for a High Horizon - needed just some machined quilting lines and some dry grass poking out of the snow. And some of those wispy prairie clouds.
