Thats a money shot rite there now DOT waits until the snow is on the ground before calling out the plows

Yea when Christie got caught in that bullshit with the weather we were out on standby for many hours doing nothing. Last winter towards the end they waited until it was too late and the roads were FUBR! Then they tell you to get it clean past the curbs and drains.

At one time, all the NYC owned garbage trucks were fitted with plows and that was a different visual to me.

I really wish you all would talk about something other than S-N-O-W! I am ready for April (not to wish my life away).

It was a bit of a culture shock when I experienced my first significant snow after I moved to VA from MA. In MA everything that could swing a blade was used; down here only dumps, a few farm tractors, and the occasional grader using the regular mold board. They never used mixers, trash trucks, or anything else and still don't.

That is why VA is a religious state when it snows; "God put it there and he'll take it away."

Last year when we got a "dusting" of snow down here,i thought long and hard about buying a wrecker! if for nothing else,to recover D.O.T plows,and other tow trucks in the ditch!...............................................Mark
