A Nice Day for Plowing Snow

- It's been a pretty mild winter here in Nova Scotia. Here's some shots from a snow fall we had on March 2nd. We didn't get as much as was forecasted, but it was enough to drop the plow and get out on the roads. With the milder temperatures, it didn't take much to clear the roads. The salt activates fast with warmer temps.
Can I show us a video with out the plow but just salting? I think that would be cool.
Great footage! What camera setup is that?
Thank you! The camera I used here is the new GoPro MAX 360. It's an incredible camera and is almost like having a camera man hanging off the truck as you can look around after you recorded the video. It cost a little more than a regular GoPro but worth every cent of it if you want to get some amazing footage!
Like your rotating camera driver's side. good one.
Yeah Don, that new GoPro MAX is an awesome camera! Thanks for watching!

Another great video, you guys in NS got all the snow this year hardly any here in South West NB.I am surprised NS doesn't use Bernie's (BWS) dump's and and plow setups.
I know you guys in NB usually get much more snow than us. We haven't had any real big snowfalls, just a lot of little ones. This year we also didn't get our usual warm spell mid winter that gets rid of all the snow.
Hello Jim I love the vids and can I ask u a question the plow on the front of ur truck what do they call them some trucks just has the straight blade but we’re that’s like one we’re it’s small on the left the gets bigger on the right what kind of plow I’d that called? I’m just wondering thx
Great video Jim. If you got an email I’d love to send u a quick video and some pictures of the last storm we just got here in Ontario. I think you would find it interesting haha
Cool! Try jimhowdigsdirt@hotmail.com Thanks!
I work on plow truck, much rather be driving them. I gotta get my CDL
not sure if possible given the nature of the job, but it would be neat if you could add some commentary to the in cab shots. Im sure you have some great stories with all these years behind a plow.
Why the freeze frame at 11:01 of that white SUV? Because it was close to your 5-pt turn?
I don't know what happened there? I usually proof watch all my videos a few times before I post but somehow I missed little blip. Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out!
Eyyyyyy a fellow nova scotian
Hi jim been in the 90 ,s here in Delaware usa were I live. For 2021 winter I would like to see more outdoor shots of the plow and wing plow. 👍
I'd Love to plow with u! Except its raining here.
Well at least you won't have to chain up if it's raining, lol. Thanks for watching Scott!
make sure you plow out the trailer park boys set. other than that...id stop driving.
Thanks for the ride! Good luck with that Mack, the town I live in has run mostly Macks since the mid 70s and they really like plowing and sanding with them. They seem to hold together well, trucks only go for replacement when they begin to need repairs constantly.
Thanks Jack! I hope to get a lot of trouble free years with the new Mack. Hopefully they are as tough as the old Macks!
Great job plowin the rds
The b model macks were a tuff trk good plowin trk to
very nice video!!! pleasing to watch!
Thank you Rocket! It's even more pleasing to drive, lol.
Wow do you like the Mack?
I am really enjoying the new Mack! It's so quiet and comfortable that is hard not to love. Almost like driving a car, lol!
How many hours do you have work?
We have two twelve hour shift running from 5 to 5 so it all depends when you get called out. Sometimes we might get called in a little earlier if it starts snowing after 2am, as there's not much sense calling in the night shift that late in their shift. Generally we don't go over 12 hours tho. Thanks for asking Bill!
Thanks for the ride. This video is rather relaxing.
Awesome job as always👍🏼
Thanks bberry!
Feliz resto de la tarde amigo!
¡Gracias mi amigo! ¡Salud!
very nice video, good job !
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian!
Great video as always! I wish we got that kinda snow here in Va. We got a measly 2 inches a couple of weeks ago and we got called in by Vdot to help put salt and sand down for a few hours and that has been it.
Thanks Alan! We haven't had any real big snow storms this winter, just a lot of little one's back to back. We put over 21,000 kilometers on the new truck so far this winter. I was hoping for at least one big storm before winters all over. Oh well...you never know what we will get hit with in March.
@@JimHowDigsDirt yeah our big boss was expecting more also so he could make some money. If our operation was closer to the blue ridge mountains we would have better chances but we are in the tidewater area of Virginia.
Thank you sir
You are quite welcome! Thank you for watching my friend!
