The background commentary is a true slice of Upstate New York ballbusting and wild accents. Great video, brings me back.

During the cold war, the Air Force had "high-speed" snow plows for runways. Capable of plowing at 50 plus MPH. The plows were able to "reverse " the blade at the end of the runway for the return trip. The whole plow would lift hydraulically and turn to change the direction of the windrow. I believe they were FWD special builds.

Town of North Elba (lake placid ny) used a FWD when it was too much for the regular plow trucks.

Oshkosh, Western Star and Walter built some of the best trucks ever known there are tons of these still in service to this day

Be nice if there was, I dunno, some SNOW. For your, for your, snowplows here.

I remember seeing a Lynn Half Track with a V plow with wing plows at the Delaware County Fair

We had plows like this in the Michigan UP Copper Country. With over 300 inches a year of snow to deal with, the county had so many they didn't even put boxes on them, just huge concrete slugs.

Great. Walter trucks are my favorite as I spent 15 years working for Walter. It was a good company to work for, and they built a good truck. If you like trucks, it wasn't work.

Unless you have experienced it most people have no idea what it takes to clear the roads in the winter . It takes a lot of big equipment . You need to do your next video on the snow blowers that are used . DOT in Lockport has one that uses a 400 Cummings just to run the blower , man can it throw some snow !!!!

I've seen a lot of those size plows in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, at least back in the 70s and 80s... ironically usually on my way to a ski hill....

Stop by Town of Washington, NY and ask about their Paystar sander. Straight plow, not a V-plow; they run a lot of dirt roads, and they're not wide enough for a V-plow. But it's a hell of a truck. Watched the driver tow a loaded tractor-trailer out of a snow bank one night. It was quite a sight. 😁
