Plow with the Storm
It is of utmost importance to remember one basic rule — Always
plow with the storm. Start plowing when snow is 1 to 4 inches
deep, depending upon traffic or other limitations. Heavy wet
snow can be very hazardous when just 1 inch is on the ground.
Accumulations of more than 4 inches can be very difficult to
clear.
Plow with the Storm
Angle Moldboard for Optimum Results.
The Meyer Super-V will provide a significant advantage when
plowing deeper snow in a straight path. Once you have made the
first path using the Super-V in the pointed or arrowhead position,
you can proceed to finish using straight blade procedures. Set
the moldboard at the best angle for rolling snow sideways in the
desired direction. The snow plow path, in the angled position,
should exceed the tire track by at least six inches on either side.
Be sure to have enough slack in the lift chain while plowing so
the cutting edge of the moldboard can follow the ground contour.
Use the adjustable runner shoes to set the bottom edge of the
plow just above the ground for best operation.
Snow is heaviest when wet, and most difficult to handle. The
National Weather Service reports that a 6-inch, average weight
snowfall on a 200 x 200 foot parking lot weighs 62 tons. Heavy,
wet snow for the same area might weigh as much as 248 tons.
If the heavy snow had to be hauled away, you’d need 74 full
loads on a l0-yard truck.
Obviously, the only way to assure clear traffic areas is to be
prepared with the proper equipment and expertise to open
arteries and areas to traffic. Remember to keep current with
accurate snowfall information from local weather bureaus via
radio and television.
