Ive sometimes seen snowplows driving along during a storm with their plows in a raised position. Why are they not plowing?
There are a couple of reasons plows aren’t always pushing snow. Plows may be in operation only to spread materials, or may be out of materials to spread and headed back to a Mass Highway Depot for a refill. Another possibility is that the driver does not have the responsibility for the road he is currently on – and he’s heading elsewhere.
