Snow blowing a Wall of ICE

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The operators decide to split tasks: one will use the snow blower, carefully shaving off layers of the ice bank, while the other follows with a bucket to pick up the loose ice and snow. This method is preferred over trying to clear the entire bank at once, as it is more efficient and prevents damage to the snow blower. The goal is to gradually find the curb line so future snowfalls can be managed more easily.

Goal: Efficiently remove ice layers and establish clear curb lines.
