Snowed In
Posted on | December 7, 2006 |
I’m so glad I don’t drive a snowplow…
I just spoke with the Director of Winter Operations for the City of Minneapolis and he offered up some advice for us pesky drivers out there who make it difficult for the snow plowers to do their jobs!
- Snowplows are big. And slow. And take longer to stop.
- They can’t maneuver as well as cars can.
- They probably can’t see you very well - they have a lot of blind spots. Plus, it’s hard to see with high winds, fast-falling and blowing snow.
- So…be careful when following a snowplow! Be patient, don’t try to pass them and allow plenty of room between you and the plow in case they need to stop all of a sudden. Stay back!
