A snowplow? You got that much snow? I'm not knocking ya, since my old station we ran the brush unit with the ambulance when we had significant snow and a call for the boo boo box.

We got hit pretty good with lake effect snow last night. I think they were trying to clear a path around the back side to try and get an engine to the back side.
