There are municipalities near me that load snow from their streets and sidewalks and dump it elsewhere. I first saw the practice in Hanover, New Hampshire. From there I moved to New York City where plow blades are put on garbage trucks and snow is melted rather than moved. Buffalo has plenty of room for snow, as does New York's Tug Hill region which receives more than double Buffalo's average seasonal snowfall.

My wife was chatting with a lady that lived in Wisconsin for a few years today. She was telling her about the city’s snow removal procedures where the city utilized open lots and unoccupied city owned cul-de-sacs to dump snow from the streets. She asked me if I’d ever heard of that before and of course my answer was no. Is that something they do there in Michigan or Minnesota or even in the Buffalo area that gets snow like no other. Paul

Yes, I have winter tires mounted on a second set of wheels. I'm not a big believer in all-season tires in places that have snow- and ice-covered roads regularly.

That tire tread looks more aggressive than my all season radials. Do you swap tires for the winter season?

Fortunately here in the center of the USA our weather has improved. All of our snow is gone except for piles here and there’d especially in parking lots. 60’s yesterday and today. Paul

Image swapped. These are all from my car. The earlier image had a mix.

The guy he hires to plow his drive would be my guess. Paul

Tire tracks?
