Huh.
For the last couple of nights I've noticed convoys of trucks lining the street just to the north of my building. Didn't really pay much attention -- figured they were either plowing or salting the streets, though I never saw them move much.
But now that I'm actually watching I see it's an assembly line of sorts -- there's a little bobcat picking up the snow (off the sidewalks too! Finally.) and dumping it into the bed of a truck, which trundles off to do . . . something. . . with the snow. And the next truck moves up.
I guess since it's been too cold for the snow to melt much, this is the most efficient way to get it out of the way?
It's sort of fascinating to watch. Though now I'm envisioning a huge, growing pile of snow in a vacant lot somewhere. Really, what do they do with the snow?
