That is an impressive machine to remove the snow. I see it is a construction specialy attached to a lorry, great find.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is enough and that nature doesn't have more surprises in her head. Like the look of the truck, a real macho thing.
ReplyDeleteI never saw a second plow attached to the side, very clever. I bet that speeds things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that's not my job!
ReplyDeleteRather them that me. Last time I saw snow ploughs was in Scotland an they were operating in two's to keep the pain road clear
ReplyDeleteThis is a common sight around here, and I am so grateful for the job that they do!
ReplyDeleteThose are crazy hours but I can tell from your photo that it's a huge job!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter drives a snow plow like that for the city. She works a twelve hour shift.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think about those long hours plowing snow I think of the Chicago plow driver who went out of his head and started attacking cars parked in the snow clogged streets. Think he plowed into several hundred cars before the police stopped him. Plow operators allow us to live in these snow covered cities, but they do have their problems too.
ReplyDeleteNice way to remember how important this is, they work hard and their labors often go unsung!
ReplyDeleteWhere would we be without them!?
ReplyDeleteThese folks are also unsung heroes. I hope they are paid commensurately! Very dramatic photo!
ReplyDeleteThey are surely a welcome sight, though I must say the ones I've seen here are little Tonka toys compared to your bruiser!
ReplyDeleteAnd they are overjoyed The money rolls in unabated during these storms.
