    As an Australian I never ever thought that snow would be something that was an issue in cities , I learned there is special machines to remove it, trucks transport it and theres huge facilities for dumping it, Totally amazed mate amazing

      Hahaha, yes it is a very serious issue in northern North America. If it snows more than 10 inches here in Detroit, my car cannot make it out of the driveway so we rely on people like the ones in this video to allow us to function. Although the snow removal in the Detroit Metro area isn't even as close to as efficient as this video shows in Canada, I definately commend their service. They work nights and weekends as well as all holidays. Commendable service! In fact this year, 2020, it snowed on Christmas and I still saw loads of plow trucks on the road away from their families...

So interesting and great quality video. I live in a small Ontario town with 1 JD Loader with Larue snowblower, 11 snowplows and 3 sidewalk plows. I happen to work for the city and I often do traffic control for snow removal operations. Those are my favorite days to work.

    For those that don't know, once the cold weather hits, the exhaust of the trucks is rerouted thru the bottom of the dump box to prevent sticking when dumping. A little hard to see here but close up you'll see the exhaust exit the rear upper corner of the box instead of the stacks. This applies to those trucks that are so equipped only.

    For those who may have wondered, it wasn't until 1927 that the first snowblower (invented by Arthur Sicard) appeared on the streets of Outremont--now a district of Montreal. Up until then, snow clearing from the streets was handled by teams of otherwise-unemployed men using shovels along with horse-drawn plows. Later, as more mechanized equipment began to be purchased by the city, these men--fearful of losing their annual winter work--actually threatened to go on strike and some actually did.

      @jeffer1101 2 года назад +1

      Buffalo is very experienced at snow removal. Their problem is they get lake effect storms that dump massive amounts of snow. You can't plow it, it has to be picked up and dumped in the river. My guess is they don't have much equipment for that kind of removal. Most cities simply plow it. Montreal uses an old gravel pit to dump the snow into instead of dumping it in the river (which would likely be bad for the water quality due to all the salt).

      @@rongoesCDN Montreal's snow-filled trucks used to dump it in the St. Lawrence River from strategically-located ramps, but due to the existence of street salt accumulated in the snow and its potential to pollute the river, that practice was terminated some years ago. In addition to the abandoned quarries, there are also deep snow shafts located in certain districts; shafts that end in storm drains. Presumably, in this manner, there is less salt to cause any pollution issues, but one never knows for sure.
