Re: Incredible snowing plowing films from upstate NY in the 1930s
When I was in the air force, my room mate was in the roads and grounds crew, and he drove an Oshkosh with a huge snow blower on the front, powered by a huge diesel engine where the truck body should have been. It was a semi automatic, with four wheel steering and four wheel drive. He took me for a ride one night, clearing the road to the radar site on the mountain. It was a very spooky ride, way up there in the cab, on a narrow mountain road with no guard rails. I have a photo of me standing on top of the blower.
