This involves grading/ploughing the sides of the road, so a huge berm divides the roadway.
Then the snowmachine a huge beast gobbles up the snow
and spits it out into a convoy of huge trucks that follow it in an every moving relay. They drive alongside and are filled
and the next truck takes over whilst the full truck rushes off to the snow dump to tip out it's load and then to rush back to join the convoy again and so it goes on... the noise of thundering trucks lets you know when they are nearby!
Wow. That's serious snow removal! I hope you are enjoying a warm and happy holiday week!

I can't imagine that scenario here in the UK. We could not get that organised. I do, though, have an image of a huge, huge mound of snow somewhere that does not fully melt until well into summer :-)
ReplyDeleteWe do have huge piles of snow that last long into the Summer they just call them snow dumps...think large fenced areas hidden about town that get filled with snow that slowly melts over the summer ..actually it gets rather mucky looking so you can see why they hide them!
