You probably won't have to worry about not having enough snow - at least before the winter's over.
I remember snow fences from my grandmother's farm in northern Minnesota. During the summer they'd roll them up and make a big pile out in front by the road. My cousin and I would sit down in between them and smoke cigarettes. We didn't think anyone could see us. Well, they couldn't but they could see the smoke rising above the pile of fences! :-)
we have fence like this here on our beaches, but it is to keep the sand from blowing away. i thought that is what these were. for some reason that first photo speaks to me. i can't decide why, but i do really really like it. there is so much to see, love the lamp post
We have some snow, but not enough to cover the grass yet. It will come, sigh... I love the patterns of the first photo. Never thought the beaches would need that kind of protection!!
I don't know if that means you're lucky or not! We've been extremely dry, too, but we finally got a little bit of snow in the last five days. Not enough to pile up on our snow fences, though...
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please leave a comment before you leave so I can visit your blog.
Oh my, does this ever take me back! We used to have abundant snow fencing here but you never see it anymore.
ReplyDeleteSomething we certainly don't see in my area! We had a heavy frost yesterday morning and my mother actually believed it was snow.

I hate those orange mesh snow fences that are now starting to appear. Love the old wooden ones.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fencing. I especially like the falling down parts in your photo. The lines make for a great visual.

I learned something new today. Never even thought of snow on beaches.

ReplyDeleteIt does look like crowd control at a California beach doesn't it. Welcome to the new Canada:( Great shots.B
ReplyDeleteI'm ok with a brown Christmas! I get so worried with the snow. :S
ReplyDeleteNot needed...yet!

haven't seen snowfences since i left wisconsin. :)
ReplyDeleteLOve the fencing. Here we have it on beaches for sand. We''ll be lucky if we even have to wear a coat for Christmas.

We used to see lots of those around here. Not so much anymore. I hope you get some snow.
ReplyDeleteLooks like resort, wondered what those types of fences were for.
ReplyDeleteI love hitting the beach a few times in the winter to photograph. As for the white stuff... OK for holidays, then be gone with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with snow Christmas Eve and then sunny during the day!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern made by the fences.
ReplyDeleteWell, when do you get snow, you'll have to show them again!
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are lovely and the gazebo is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in the US mountain west we had snow fences all over the place. I haven't ever seen one in Oklahoma. Probably because we don't need them.
ReplyDeleteThis is our first winter being spent outside Toronto, so I am not expecting to see any snow!
ReplyDeleteSnow fences, eh? Maybe they are sand fences to keep the drifting sand away. They have these on the coast for sand purposes. MB

ReplyDeleteI used to see this fencing a lot when I lived in North Dakota.
ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt that the snow will come - eventually. Until then, the snow fences look rather forlorn.
ReplyDeleteThese are nicely composed scenes, EG. There are still eleven days before Christmas. My money is on a white Christmas up there.
ReplyDeleteSnow fences are new to me. Interesting!
ReplyDelete=)
That's a lot of snow fencing!
ReplyDeleteI like the fence that runs along the drenched walkway.
It is good to be prepared!
ReplyDeletewhere is that snow??!!! ... those fences are waiting. that's a nice area. ( :
ReplyDeleteWe havent had any snow here yet!
