It’s a sad fact but not every truck can have a snow plow attached to the front. Actually, most larger departments or agencies if given the financial freedom willingly embrace non plow trucks for a variety of reasons including lower purchase price, lower maintenance requirements and an increased vehicle lifespan. Plowing is hard on a truck. Here we see some trucks from the Jefferson County Highway Department. Believe me, Jefferson knows a thing or two about snow.
Moving northward, to the heart of the Adirondacks and the home of American winter olympics, we find that the Village of Lake Placid DPW also has a few non plows in the fleet. A very diverse lineup if there was one.
