Abstract | Snow drifting is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided in the open areas of most regions of Canada, but troublesome drifts round buildings can be minimized by proper location and shape of building and by suitable landscaping. Special protective measures include fences that collect snow in predetermined places or assist in blowing it away. Careful consideration must be given to the direction of the snow- bearing wind when action is planned to prevent the formation of drifts. |
