| #<div class="definition"><div class="short_definition">An open, slatted board fence usually 1–3 m high, placed [[upwind]] of a railroad track or highway.</div><br/> <div class="paragraph">The fence serves to create [[eddies]] in the [[downstream]] airflow, resulting in a reduced [[wind speed]] such that [[snow]] is deposited close to the fence on its [[leeward]] side. The intent is to provide a comparatively clear zone along the railroad track or highway. A snow fence is also used to accumulate [[drifting snow]] in a flat windswept area to reduce the depth of [[ground frost]] and increase [[soil moisture]] as the snow melts.</div><br/> </div>
