I forget where I looked this up, but I was told that the drift is about 30-35 times the height of the fence. So, you would want a 4 foot fence to be 120 or so feet from the road.
This is NOT what I do. My snow fence (4 ft height) is maybe 40 feet from the driveway. I have deep (4 ft) drifts for about 20 feet of that. Some years it gets much closer, some years it's all back by the fence. If it "fills up", I move it back next year. Once I have it in the right place, I plant the red-twigs, unless they'll be in the way.
I'm in eastern SD, with lots of wind. This year I'm getting worse drifts in the driveway, but mainly where I left gaps in the fence --gaps that didn't cause problems in the past. The real tall drift by the house must be due to wind coming around both sides, I notice is swirls there when I'm blowing snow.
