North York: Convoy of freeway heavy plows on the 401 escorted by MTO + OPP 1-17-2022

Convoy of freeway snowplows following three police vehicles in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 going under the Weston Road overpass in North York, a suburb in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At 11h pm on Monday night January 17th a mega snowstorm wreaked havoc across the GTA leaving accumulations of up to 60 cm in some areas of the city. Transport trucks and motorists were stranded as their vehicle became inoperative in the deep snow in an ordeal that in some cases lasted over 12 hours.

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

I'm not sure about them being blanket "heroes", but they certainly are appreciated.

[@alfredlamothe5268]

Very cool 4K style footage! I live those last two plows with those units that flattened the snow making the snowbank right & tight.

Thank you for your support, but large amounts of snow plows plowing highways after snow storms is not all that uncommon!

Thank you for my kids!

[@madeincda]

It seems people are confusing this video with the truckers protest. At least it's easy to pick out the people who clearly have no attention span. Also, this snow removal happens almost every year here. The difference is this was a little more than usual in a shorter span of time.

[@aleks9677]

Which Company was tasked Here? Or was this the MTO Themselves?

[@jonnyincomox]

So cool!

[@jvon3885]

Could have saved some money by putting a plow on those cop trucks eh?

[@standalone2358]

People watching this and commenting it is about the Truckers Convoy should check the video film date 1-17-22. 🤡🤦‍♂ It seems facts never seem to bother dumb people. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ronaldmayer9833]

FREEDOM!

Can someone explain to me why the traffic in center are stopped?

truckers on protest

[@my_flippin_journey]

@@popanollie1 these truckers parked their rigs on the highway instead of participating in one of the convoys?

[@alexkitner5356]

Yup its a protest, whats great is that they also had the courtesy for others to do it on a road thats shut down due to snow and likely stuck vehicles and accidents.

[@rollnryan27]

sssssooooooo,.... like what about that 4' bank that now completely blocks that exit ? is there a loader that comes along to scoop the exits after

[@peterrivney552]

What a convoy of police and MTO in front of the snow plows what if they get stuck in the deep snow??? Or are the trying to make world headlines like the real convoy for freedom that is going to Ottawa !!! I never see Goverment's Officeals wast tax payers money like this before like the snow plow operator's don't know how to plow snow this is Canada where we get snow evey winter. I don't have an issue with the plows just the escort as well why don't the lead truck have a swing blade/ slime juicer behind it like the last truck in stead of five trucks it would only be three trucks doing the work of six and Appling slime & salt as well... They talk about global warming and climate change... The government the biggest liers...

[@brexit9279]

[@user-ct4en9um8p]

This formation is called an 'Echelon' that plows use to clear roads quickly.

[@joseph-mariopelerin7028]

why and why so many cops tho... ... its a highway!!!! like one way!!!!

[@Piedone21]

Most truckers are still working hard. A minority would rather play Convoy

[@mikeinalberta1330]

This has nothing to do with the truckers convoy. This is just how they plow the hwy

[@debbiehanisch2099]

I've been reading these comments laughing my ass off. Who knows what countries they were in though. We gave our land of snow reputation forever.

[@jonathancameron3416]

Everyone stuck on the other side and snow plow clearing a already clear road on the other side wow stupid

[@oleotten]

wow stunning footage! more like this please! :) PS: would be interesting to see what the lust snowplow is doing with the exit.

[@thangrom5795]

i dont get it..other street nice and clean with no car and they are plow but other site cars stuck?// why dont they are move or ask driver move to left or right then plow street enough so the vehicle can get out ....

[@matthewstetson3769]

Anyone noticed how all the trucks are salting as they plow? So even the trucks in the front are applying rock salt, and then the truck behind it plows the salt with the snow. ??? Seems like a waste of salt. Do all 6 trucks need to salt? Maybe just two trucks in the back of the line.

[@jayneterry8701]

Better than the Snowbirds! Lol💗👍🛣🛣🛣🛣🛣

[@SasquatchPicker]

lol all the people saying this is a vaccine mandate convoy are all bots. This is clearly just a badass snowplow team clearing the highways unrelated... rofl

Plowing the snow in the correct direction, Good job! Wish Colorado Springs had more plows on the roads!

[@Bernie0481USMC]

I wish PUEBLO HAD snow removal gear of any kind! Lol

[@packetattack7437]

Colorado has the worst fucking snow removal I've ever seen, I mean it's really embarassing. I-25 is a mess from Castle Rock to the DTC anytime it snows, I'm talking like your state has an adversion to ice melt, tons of glare/black ice etc. What gives Colorado?

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

lol, guys...you know this has nothing to do with the freedom convoy, right? Definitely a satisfying sight, though!

[@peternorthe1912]

You mean the trucker's convoy that has nothing to do with freedom?

[@stevenjones618]

Hmmm camera shot for show boating... lol lol not much of a need for plows when you got the cops in front lol lol omg what they doing clearing thw snow for the plows.. lol lol photo op... gotta love it.. while the true problem lies in other side of highway... where the cops won't lead the way...

[@murraydelawski7496]

Thank you all truckers stand up for are rights and freedoms at this important time in history god bless you all be safe out there.thank for all you truckers do for the people.

[@a564-c3q]

So they do only one direction there? Poor people being stuck in the opposite direction.. 😁

[@ATF1985]

What a shit show 😂 no reason for police cars infront of the plows . Look at the middle lane

[@dennisvestby4432]

Keep on trucking👍🏻🕶🌷🌦🌈

[@jeff59rt]

They recleared the road while everyone else is stuck?

[@jayneterry8701]

Keeping the highways clear! 🛣 👍😀🇨🇦

[@zenmen7095]

JUSTIN your in BIG trouble

[@darin5794]

Then they had to have all the cars on the other side towed.

[@HeliFly1987]

Why are police "escorting" plows that are clearing a already cleared road????! They're doing what looks to me as a final cleaning (cleaning up the edges) where the people in the middle are still stuck on a snow covered road?

[@jmt8706official]

The escort was probably because the plows took up the whole width of that side of highway. The ones in fromt can get any lollygaggers out of the way for the plows.

[@popanollie1]

the truckers in the middle stopped intentionally to protest.

[@Bernie0481USMC]

Anyone notice the TT flying by on the far left of screen?

[@chrisragona3945]

So glad I don't live there anymore.

[@Robbbed]

Should have a roll.plow in back

[@hailong_Vlog]

cool footage! how do you know there will come to there at that time?

[@pascalmarch]

Well, in this case we were out there reporting on the snow storm that had many vehicles stranded on the highway. In the span of a few hours, a number of these convoys passed by the viaduct by chance!

[@polarViking]

How the fuck is it possible that six plowtrucks leave more snow on the road after a pass than what was on the road before they came, only in america! I'm laughing my ass of at this shit 😂🤷‍♂️

[@badgercdlyons]

"only in america". gg there public school dropout.

[@tl2289]

United we stand decided we fall respect 🇺🇸 🇨🇦👊💪

[@sheffieldhoney]

[@myreviews8099]

What did they do in the other direction

[@yabd792]

That’s how a you clean a highway

[@newsnowcanadahamilton3883]

That one side is nice and plowed lol

[@GrogGMartin]

I Haven’t seen any negative comments I guess we’re not just a fringe movement Canada will be free again

[@peternorthe1912]

Don't be mistaken. It's still a fringe movement. Canadians don't even know how to use all the freedom we do have. The "movement" is just a bunch of pissed off people who are angry that things aren't going their way.

[@kimmiln8853]

Have you hugged or thanked a trucker today ❤️Go 🇨🇦

[@pitrow66]

Wow

[@curlybrownk9]

Take that snow.

[@FemboiSupremacy]

Lock ‘‘em all up

[@thevinmeister5015]

I’m here completely understanding why the truckers are PISSED and hope this gets resolved (preferably in the truckers’s favour) or else we’re taking a hit supply chain-wise 😬

[@mactcampbell]

There pissed because there was a snowstorm.

[@mactcampbell]

You're right. We get pissed at snow plows about 20 times per winter for plugging up our driveways. Trudeau had better tell them off.

[@Believeorreason]

Chain wise chains are banned in city's likes Toronto and I think a lot of Ontario. So when storms like this happen and guys get stuck they rarely think to use their chains

[@darin5794]

20 Minute wait to clear the highway and put brine and salt down. Because if a Truck had an accident, who would they blame?

[@10fttall6ftwide]

I hate snow

[@CarruthersDruthers]

This is not in relation of the Canada Freedom Convoy 2022. These plows were in response to the heavy snowfall we had on January 17th. But I'm with ya's all...💯 support for the truckers heading to Ottawa for the 29th! ✊💪✊ ❤ 🔊 🚛 🚚 🚛💨 🇨🇦🌍🌎🌏🇨🇦

[@rozannaedwro934]

You’re wrong.

[@popanollie1]

not the plows... all the trucks lined up in the middle.

[@maggiew6200]

So I live in Alaska & we get a lot of snow ❄️ & I mean a lot of snow ❄️ & long winters. And I have never seen any snow plowing like this before. Must be a big city thing.

[@garystar1592]

It is called echelon plowing. It is common In Quebec, Ontario, New York State and many other parts of North America. It is the most effective way of having all the plows work in sync and while moving no faster than 50 km/h spreading abrasives. The last plow/s remove the snow bank at exit's and entrance ramps. Normally traffic can follow at a slow speed behind the escort vehicle, however in this case the 401was closed due to this record snowfall, Unfortunately most cars are not equipped with winter tires in southern Ontario, and the snow fell so fast that tractor trailer's could not advance up grades and ramps.

[@musicthoughts7859]

This 401 is one of the busiest highway in North America. There is an interesting TV show called Heavy Rescue 401 which is about tow operators recovering trucks. Very interesting
