It was a winding day and thats the way the wind blows 90% of the time and they were transferring snow from one side to the other. And also this was just a trial run, was pulled out of many many years of storage. Was sold off to a local collector that has around a dozen Oshkosh trucks with v plows in a open field on display.

They would use a 3 tier auger Oshkosh to clear side roads( county) in my area of eastern upper penninsula of Michigan when J was growing up back in the 1960's. After a " big blow" those roads would be packed as hard as concrete, with banks as tall as the truck. The winds blew that snow onto the road bed as high as the banks. I would watch them auger away for days to clear a mile or two of that compacted snow. That area is no stranger to snow,cold or winds either.

I see all these comments about blowing snow to the wrong side of the road, based on that slight bit of wind blowing back the other way. Well, the banks seem to be a lot higher on the side he's working, which is a sure sign that he's sending the snow to the side where it's least likely to compound clearing efforts after the next storm since the wind during drifting conditions will usually be from a small range of directions, similar every time. I swear, the people making the harsh comments must not even live where it snows or they'd recognize what those higher banks on one side actually mean. If things are as they appear, it makes more sense to blow the snow to what will be the downwind side next time there's a storm, and do a quick cleanup with plow for the dusting that results right now. The video poster does point out, though, that they were just playing around with the thing, and they might have just aimed it straight for the side of the road having the taller snowbanks.
