Moving Mountains of Snow

What happens here

Front-end loaders are actively engaged in moving large volumes of snow. This process, referred to as 'push-backs,' involves pushing snow from open areas and consolidating it into higher, denser piles along the perimeter. This action is crucial for maintaining clear pathways and parking spaces, ensuring readiness for subsequent snowfalls. The initial objective is to create sufficient space for future snow accumulation.

Goal: Heavy loaders perform 'push-back' operations, consolidating snow into larger piles to create space for upcoming snow events. This strategy is essential for managing snow accumulation in large areas.

What they say

Hide

we're hauling snow. Where are we starting first? Uh at Harmony. I just going to finish giving these guys a ride around here and showing them and then they'll jump in the machines and you can rode them up to Harmony. >> Harmony? >> Yeah. I'll send the uh route like in order with the addresses into that message for us all to see. >> Okay. >> And then Zach, you're just going to go over there where I plowed in that spot over there. >> And you're just going to the rolloffs are going to be dumping loads in there. Push it as far back as >> to the left. I don't think you want to go straight back because there's that building there. Start pushing it to the left in the field. Try your best not to rip up the grass. Kind of float over it. >> Basically, make a ramp and then just keep going from there, right? >> Yeah. Push it back as far as you can. We're going to be hauling a lot of snow over there tonight. So, >> yeah, we we underestimate our snow dumps from the last time we >> push push it back. >> How many rolloffs we got running tonight? >> Two are running tonight. about six. >> But not all of our sites require hauling. Some of our sites were just going to be doing what we call push backs or making space for upcoming storm events where we take the entire pile and just move everything out of the way. This is the kind of work we actually enjoy doing. There's very little stress and it's just a matter of making space on a night after we've been able to finally get some rest and get caught up. So, it feels good to be back in the equipment and running on nights like this. Let's hop in the sledge and start moving some No up here. Heat. Heat. All right. Well, these guys got a busy night of pushing all of these snow banks as far back as possible, and the other crews are stealing all of the trucks. So, we're going to go over and see how the other guys are doing with all of the trucks, and let these guys just keep doing what they do.
