First Day Plowing Snow

On our first day back on call for the 23/24 winter works plow season we got hit with an early snowfall and were back in the saddle. We had more snow during this event than we had for the entire month of December last year. It was a heavy wet snow and it made for some nice scenery the next day which always makes plowing even more enjoyable.
Stay safe on the roads this winter!
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Great videos to fall asleep to. I don't miss plowing one bit! Always called in at 2 am during a blizzard with the roads obviously unplowed.

Merry Christmas Jim. All the best in the New Year,

Living the dream man, glad you're bringing us along for it

Something new for me , I'm up in the Timmins Ontario area and no snow to speak of, a very unusual winter, but I'm sure that we will finally get 'hit' anytime now. Usually around this time we would have about a foot of snow on the ground, we basically have a 'Dusting'of snow though about 3 weeks back we received our first snow with 2" on the ground but melted after 2 days. I'm not a snow plow operator, I'm a retired underground mining scoop tram ( low profile frontend loader operator) though I have always been fascinated by snow plows, hence why I subscribed to your channel...Thanks!

MERRY CHRISTMAS THANKS FOR KEEPING THE ROADS SAFE JIM FROM THE ANNAPOLIS VALLEY ALL THE BEST KEEP SAFE

[@MLMRoadCrew]

Fun to watch. We're jealous out here in west coast BC waiting for snow.
Just wondering what the numbers mean on the rexroth control screen. We were thinking it was prewetting percentages but hard to tell. We have a few first gen Epokes that are okay (control screens terrible) but those ones with updated controls seem to be better.

[@terrystark2433]

Hi Jim,great videos you've posted.
Where are your plow routes and may I ask what type of cameras you use?
I'm in South central Ontario.
Thanks for any info!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

[@orchardtvchannel]

Great video Jim . Yeah not much snow here in southern BC to scrape off the roads .

[@shawnwaller6339]

Great video Howie and I’m glad you’re back. I thought we would have had some excavator or skid steer videos this fall.
Take care and be safe out on the roads

[@karsoncampbelllogginginc]

I have a snowplough for my four wheeler now, so no more throwing shovels in the back of the snowplough going by in the road lol 😂

[@АлександрИгнатьев-з9ъ]

у нас в этом году тоже снега много. привет из сибири)))

[@davidyoung3037]

How fast can you go when plowing. Here in Ontario we are only allowed 40 km/h. Great vid
Thanks.

[@fastst1]

Go get em Jim, thanks for taking us along, we're looking at 40F all the way through xmas, no plowable snow yet. Do you use any salt away products or just a good old wash?

[@allanscontent9794]

My dad works there

[@2Years2Farm]

I was curious how much do you make plowing?
I plow residential driveways but have considered working for the state.

[@josse6907]

We make $30 to $40 dollars an hour depending on the contract… 12 hours a day snow or no snow we still get a pay cheque every two weeks…

[@joelprybylski3515]

Hows the Mack holding up? Still miss the 6x6?
