This city is buried in snow. And temperatures have not reached above freezing for months- so it never melts. But there are some very creative solutions to remove snow from the narrow streets that suffer.
The "Snow Spitter" is a giant snow blower. The auger grinds up the snow banks and then spits it into the back of dump truck.
Then the job is finished off by large and small tractors that clear the roads and sidewalks.
It's a nice public service but you pay a premium for it (50% tax bracket). But the kids sure enjoyed watching.
