We have one in our yard. Myself and another supervisor will go out periodically & check on it then grab the shops plow truck and clear it.

We had hired plows/snow removal crews. Once they were done with the parking lot they were gone. You can not even use a snow blower on that stuff. lt comes off the roof and lands so hard it packs like a rock. Working for a world wide company -DHL- they didn't think we needed a yard truck or a plow.    .....Hippy

That's an on the spot ticket here in NH! And the snow will be cleaned off before you move. Tractor trailers with snow on the roof of the trailer that get stopped. The police will call a road side repair service to come out and shovel it off for you. And you know the driver/company will be charged for the road call.

We had an overhead V-plow to do the trailer roofs in our yard. Problem was you had to shovel the snow that landed on the ground to the side before the next truck drove through.    .....Hippy    

It was Brockton so they were going by the Haitian or Dominican rule book

l'm not sure where this is from but, LOL! GET OUT OF THE WAY! Blizzard of '78 in Manchester NH we were a contractor for the city. Two six wheelers plowing, ten wheeler hauling snow, and a loader doing the alleys. The plows were told to just keep the streets open. When it let up push it back to the curb, well by that time everyone had almost cleaned out their driveways. We lost two windshields from thrown shovels and not the cheap plastic ones! AH back when it was fun.    .....Hippy

guy did that to mee about 20 years ago. he spent 11 days in county jail because it was holiday friday night, with christmas on monday.  and judge decided to let him stew in county for 10 days until hearing on Jan 2.

besides loosing 5 days work, he was ordered to replace my windshield, AND fined $1,000 for criminal motor vehicle damage. plus town fine of $50 for throwing snow in the street.

the worse part is i always cleaned as much of the windrow from driveways on the last pass.

for two years after, all plow drivers were instructed by town road department not to clear driveways because all the people in that development were real pricks. parked their cars on the roads instead of in their driveways. then after the driveways were clean they would pull the cars in and call complaining we did not clear the roads. 

what they could not understand was was the road department head road all over following plow crews checking on the work they were doing.

Blizzard of 78 wow, who could forget that I was working for Nissan’s back then by the time the bread was ready to roll. We couldn’t move our trucks. They sent us all home. Good thing I had four  wheel drive and  a snow plow. I don’t know how anybody else got out of there.
