Newfoundland Canada 90cm+ Snowplow clean up January 18th 2020

[@notyourpapa]

I like how he pushed the excess snow in people's yards but not the driveways. Yeah there is a wall but he wasn't being a jerk.

[@daveschwartz5893]

Exactly. He's gotta put it somewhere. Front lawn is perfect.

[@jerrydewitt8585]

I use to plow snow with end-loader and tractors for 2 an 3 days at at time with no sleep boy it gets weary hats off to all you people who do it im to tired an old to do it anymore

Thank you!

Aaaand a little extra snow for your yard. And a little extra snow for your yard too. Hell, why not give everyone some extra snow while we're at it!

[@OFFROADDAN]

😂😂

[@johnwang9914]

Supervise your kids though. The snow piles are large enough that if the tunnels and caves they dig collapses, they could suffocate in them.

[@OFFROADDAN]

Completely agree!

[@stijnvandenbruel2790]

Puzzles me how all these houses have nicely scraped driveways and cars. I can only assume they were snowed in a few days and therefore had a lot of spare time to do all the shoveling while they should have been at work ...

[@OFFROADDAN]

Yep! 4 days snowed in! We also own a small tractor and help out the neighbors

[@mactcampbell]

That's a hard push. The snow is not only deep, but, it's wind-packed also.

[@asapslide3036]

I've seen v-plows mounted to the side of loaders but never one that is actually attach to the loading arm.

[@jasminderpalsingh7007]

Makes sense why it is called Newfoundland. There might be a lot of new found things once snow is removed

[@asapslide3036]

That comment is underrated, I hope you get to a thousand likes!

you could use a pay loader to help remove the snow also

I have to say, Mount Pearl is doing a great job clearing so far! I'm impressed. My street in powers pond is widened already.

*You guys need one of them over-sized snowblowers they use on runways! Neighbors looked pissed wondering why that guy's plowing back into yards just to clear the road.*

[@Gantzz321]

they have them, they just don't have 100's of them

[@augustreil]

Where is he supposed to put it ?

[@Gantzz321]

@@augustreil the frontend loaders equipped with snowblowers are normally followed around by a fleet of trucks that get filled up and take the snow away. For this storm, Newfoundland lifted the ban on dumping it into the Ocean because of the massive volume they had to deal with and because this is not "dirty" snow.

[@augustreil]

@@Gantzz321, I didn't say anything about dirty snow.

[@Gantzz321]

@@augustreil I did, because the reason the province normally does not allow snow dumped in the ocean is because of things found in plowed road snow. This can anything garbage, salt, sand, car parts, etc. Which is why I called it "Dirty" snow. But this storm was too big they lifted the ban and allowed trucks to dump snow directly into the ocean instead of taking it to allocated snow dump areas for melt off.

[@bbrowning14]

I wonder how many fire hydrants snow plow drivers took out throughout the city during plowing. There's no way you could see them with all that snow!

[@OFFROADDAN]

They went around marked the snow with spray paint before they started!

[@ronaldstaples5752]

Ben Browning Most of the places I have been up north have tall poles attached to each hydrant

I’m over here in Alberta; visiting Newfoundland a couple years ago; I noticed there are a lot of trees and rocky ground. Do houses have basements over there? I’d think you’d need dynamite over there to dig a proper basement!

[@sailorman3]

Randolph Chappel I would say 90 % of the houses do have basements.

[@randolphchappel6098]

So, come Spring, wouldn’t there be a problem with flooding?

[@sailorman3]

Randolph Chappel it’s not all rock. Lol. We really don’t have a problem with flooding unless we have a lot of rain and a quick melt, which happens quite often, for instance we are have ing rain and warmer temperatures on Monday, and very few catch basins are uncovered so we will have some flooding.

OFFROAD DAN I plowed for 49 years, last year was my last, I never really got sick of it, but now I can stay home and feed the woodstove. A Friend of mine worked Buffalo New York back in 78 ?, they had over 100 inches, they rode snowmobiles into the lobby of the hotels

[@OFFROADDAN]

I always wondered if the operators got bored of plowing snow, guess not! Seems kinda fun tbh

[@samgarofalo2461]

OFFROAD DAN It’s like pushing flour at times

[@kevinb.4539]

They should’ve used a semi to dump snow in and transport it into fields/abandoned parking lots.

[@OFFROADDAN]

Yeah a few days ago there was 7 dump trucks on the street hauling snow away. I guess their main goal was to get the city back up and running!

[@tonynavarrete5937]

Why the small shovel? 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@johnwang9914]

They only have enough snow blowers and graders for normal situations. When there's exceptional snowfall, they contract construction companies to use whatever heavy machinery that's available. They also put out a call to neighbouring towns for assistance but in this snowfall, they all would've been hit hard.

[@02mp9696]

The complaints about where he's pushing the snow is ridiculously stupid. Were should he push the 6ft plus of snow? The driveway, roof, backyard, laneway? Has to go somewhere. Do you think when the snow is pushed, it just disappears because its a plow? 🤣. It can't be loaded and taken away cause there needs to be a street to drive on first lol. That clean up will come, but as soon as the north pole worth of snow that dumped on them is moved first.
