Aside from wooden snow fences, why doesn’t WY build snow barriers right next to I-80?

Depends on the state. In some states they have passed laws specifying what fuel taxes are to be used for. In others it just goes in to the general fund.

 

Oriental Massage Parlors at all the Weight Stations. Didn't you see one the last time you hit the scales? lol

 

GO BUY MY BOOK, I NEED MONEY.

 

And lots of coal

 

Wyoming doesn’t use salt or liquid de icer
They plow and put down sand

 

The wind does not come from the same direction all the time, Sometimes it is from the west, then it will be from the north, heck I have even seen heavy winds from the east. So have a fence that moves with the wind? Or how about getting our George Jetson vehicles that levitate? Wonder how that would work in high winds.

 

I'm sure that analysis went something like this, "it drifts really bad here, let's go 100 yards off the road and put up a snow fence," it doesnt take much analysis to get it catching as much snow as you're going to.

 

Oh &^%$ yes, I forgot about that coal. Don't Uncle Pete have a three track main raceway easts? They run them side by side in groups of three sometimes.

Baltimore power plants like Spring Garden depends on that coal through Harpers Ferry Crossing about four times a week from Wyoming or Texas. They usually keep 60 days on the pile ready to go.
