I have had great results with snow fence and dealing with a consistent western wind that brings snow across my neighbors fields to my front field and then my driveway.
My driveway runs directly south from my house 250 feet long. My neighbors field is 300 feet away to the west of me , very few trees between us , and he uses a electric fence to keep his horses in his fields (so no fence barrier)
If I left the slightest windrow on the west side of my driveway, the snow drifts would equal the height of that windrow, so tried to always snowblow or plow snow so that it was on eastern side of drive with my Kubota 60 wide rear snowblower (home made cab) , or ATV 60 inch plow.
Two years ago I installed a 48 inch high wood slat snowfence on my west property line right beside the neighbors electric fence. (200 feet of it) with t rail posts every ten feet. Also just before winter starts I cut the hay (grass ,weeds) for 15 feet infront of that snow fence to allow lots of room for snow to accumulate.
The past two winters that snow fence will accumulate 4 feet high by 15 or 18 feet wide for the 200 feet length of the snow fence. I was amazed at how much stayed there (on my side of fence). The rest of my field would have maybe a foot or 18 inches . Yes driveway still can drift in but during the majority of the winter the snow fence mitigates much of it. Now a qualifier is that the snow fence takes a beating with the wind, and you need to wire it in place VERY WELL , blizzards will rip it from t rail posts otherwise, (lesson learned hard way) The odd eastern wind blizzard messes up the format, but a day or two later that wind has gone back to prevalling west , and I can continue to blow snow to east , and keep windrows to minimum on west side of driveway so that it wont catch much .
