Naming snow plows in New Hampshire?

TiltonBB · 03-15-2023, 08:44 AM

Many years ago I drove a snowplow truck one winter for my town's DPW. A similar thing happened.

A homeowner stood in the street in front of the truck when I made my second pass by his house and demanded that I take the snow out of his driveway. He had just shoveled and was upset that the end of his driveway needed to be shoveled again. He even called the DPW Director to make a complaint about me.

A lot of people don't understand that there is no way to plow a street and not put snow into anyone's yard or driveway. The snow has to go somewhere. The large trucks are too big to go into a driveway and clean it out so even if you wanted to help a homeowner there is really no way to do it without risking damage to the pavement or lawns.
