Battling snow for days.
What happens here
Inspect the cutting edge of the snow pushers and plows. Using a visual check, verify that there is at least a quarter-inch of blade material remaining before the base metal is exposed. This is crucial for effective snow removal and to prevent damage to the equipment or paved surfaces. Discuss different blade types, such as winter equipment cutting edges used by the DOT, which have a longer, straight edge that might help with back-dragging but could affect other operations.
Goal: Ensure snowplow blades are in good condition for operation.
