Dropped a co worker off last night in Essex county and they streets were horrible, some not even plowed..even merging onto rt 3..i would expect it up by me but not there.
My ride-on mower is so buried that if I didn't know where it was I'd never be able to find it. Same thing goes for my utility trailer. The snow is so deep that my quad damn near gets stuck when I pull it out to plow.
That pile at the end of the driveway is approaching glacier status. It's huge.
Well I'm looking to buy a plow truck this weekend so yes, forever global warming.
Why not buy a plow for the jeep

i shoveled the snow that was in my driveway & apron. once I hit the street that slushy crap gets tossed back into the street where it will melt in hours.
Its tempting but I don't want to ruin it. Plowing beats the hell out of the vehicle especially front end components, more susceptible to rust and these frames like to rust on their own bad enough, and its a stick so I'll murder the clutch and components in short order. I do love driving it in the snow! I was looking for a cheap wrangler or cherokee with or without a plow to use but most were sticks or made of gold. I'm going to look at a reasonably priced bronco 2. My dad used to use one back in the day. Held together by duck tape, boat style gas tank in the passenger seat, and a can of starting fluid kept that baby going for years. Hopefully I can make this one lead a more dignified life

They are great for small lots, driveways, or narrow areas where 7.5'+ blades can't maneuver or even fit. Everything has its purpose. No matter the platform, they all take a massive beating.
you need a 6.5 plow to manuver around tight driveways but this snow sucked it was too hevy for the s10 blazer i was plowing with the first pass down a tight driveway sucked you couldnt pile the snow side to side for 60 feet i beat the s**t out of my truck and to top it off i got a ticket
Honestly, as someone that has to walk NYC sidewalks 5-6 days a week, I didn't think it was funny.
Recovering sidewalks with snow, denting cars, breaking store windows (I think the video surfaced because that stores $2,000 front windows broke from it), and the guy himself took that impact to the eyes and face.

Plow truck shouldn't have been going that fast, though. Pure negligence on their part, especially if they were damaging cars and buildings along the way. How do you stop a truck that big in a hurry if you need to, especially on slushy/snow-covered streets?
