What happens here

The current snowfall is light, requiring only 'open-ups' – clearing just enough snow from drive lanes for vehicles to enter and exit easily without getting stuck or sliding. This involves driving the truck with the plow down, without lifting and dropping the blade repeatedly. This technique helps maintain traffic flow and prevents accumulation in high-traffic areas.
