Best part is when he plows some snow.

my dad plows for our town and I rode with him thru a couple storms it gets real hairy out there , so hats off to all the snowplow drivers out there

lol you can tell its Canada everyone waves when you bury them back in their driveways.... ;) great video

At first I thought it was going to be a boring video. I ended up watching the whole thing! This is one of those satisfying videos.

My mother plowed snow up here in northern Maine for many years. Like many people I see in your video, it's quite common to wave to the plow guy. :) Stay warm, keep 'er between the ditches & you'll be alright. lol Thanks for sharing! I love your video's.

It's nice to see people waving to you instead of flipping you the bird. Your work goes mostly unappreciated. You guys are awesome! Thank you, and thanks for the ride-along.

School kids hate you lol...but im 24 and I've learned to appreciate you

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY! Thank you for sharing this with us all Jim! :)

i always appreciate people who choose to park their vehicle in the street while they clear their driveway rather than moving it to one side or the other or to the end for the time being. (shakes head) oh well, thanx for the ride along buddy

I enjoyed the experience, thanks! Who knew what it is like for you guys. Well done!

If I was a trucker I'd probably hook up a 2-tone steam train whistle to my air and have a chuckle with every bystander :)

I love these videos, there so calm and relaxing and peaceful to watch. I love snow plow trucks. Thank you for taking the time to record this and thank you for plowing the roads for all of us. 😊👍✌️

I'm a truck driver and have a massive amount of respect for all the salt shakers out there. Big thanks.

I do enjoy watching you guys plow snow it been in the. 80 and 90 here cools me off.

Wow brings back memories when i use to live in michigan born& raised there.winters can be brutal! I reside in florida now.good times!☺

it would be cool if you a had a camera faced backwards in the rear, to see the progress :) greetings from sweden :)

Ha as a firefighter I lover your renaming of your profession! Good on Ya!

I enjoyed this way more than I probably should have...

Never get tired of that windshield scenery , been plowing for padot for 25 years, nice job.

Listening to those chains whipping really takes me back to my childhood taking the bus in the winter time. Nowadays they cover the roads in salt here in Norway.

I love the people who plow the roads. I'll be getting up for work at 4am and then they come clearing the roads for me lol.

Love the videos thanks for posting them please do more!!

That's a sweet sounding rig!

The local snowblower salesman probably lives in the biggest house in town.

This so reminds me of my old home in Jamtland, Sweden. Nostalgia.

Hi Jim thanks for the ride , its safe riding with you...Good job...

First let me say THANK YOU!, most days I'm confined to bed and you made me feel like I was along for the ride. Second I never considered the obstacles and pedestrians and such you guys have to deal with in conjunction to an already at times tough job. I deeply appreciated your video, thank you.

JimHowDigsDirt: I drove plow and sander for years, highway and township roads and it sure is a thankless job with long hours. But I miss every second of it. Thanks for keeping our roads clear, and putting up with the crazies. Stay safe brother.

i miss snow like that Missouri don't get much anymore though a few inches and people don't know what to do .

This is a very satisfying video! Im glad you aren't one of those jerks that just plows and doesn't care about people blowing their driveways and stuff. LISTENING TO THE SHIFTING WAS VERY SATISFYING ASWELL AHHA

LOVE it plowed snow for Cortland County for 15 years. That looked about right. I was mostly night shift.

I would love to listen to nothing but an hour of one of these trucks taking that first pass on a road. It's something about the truck working hard.

Still one of the best plowing videos out there.

the sound of chain on the payment........like it.

Snow&pickup,that's kingdom of heaven !

this gives a new perspective on what plow drivers have to watch out for

Excellent video. Thanks!

You really gave that toe some slack. I found that turtle wax paste wax does a good job at lubricating the slide. I was limited in what i was allowed to use at state DOT. Great video. I wish it illustrated how much that wing impacts the ride when you hit snowbanks that people leave behind. My snow fighter days have ended. Stay safe.

Maan, that is one thing I do not miss from being up north... Don't think my back could take another year of shoveling snow.. Glad I'm back south of the Mason/Dixon line again..

snow plow perators should have the same status on the road as emergency vehicles! They need to plow the way for the emergency vehicles to get their jobs done!

Some how I love watching stuff like this

I Plow for nbdot. Love the sorry when you fill the driveways, I do the same thing

Those are some cold bleak moments in the snow. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

This reminds me of the famous tug hill in New York. Nice sounding truck.

My dad is on the brine tanker that goes from sydney to port hawkesbury . A couple of years ago we hauled to antagonish when the plow shed went burnt

Good job! I always wanted to live. Somewhere like this! I love snow

I love snow I find it so relaxing to watch especially if it's completely quiet out while it's snowing! Uhh that is just pure bliss!

You sir, have restored my faith in...Canadians???? Plus what a great office you have.

I always wait till after the snow plow goes by, lol

Spent a week at pictou lodge last summer. Beautiful area with great people. Merry Christmas from Ottawa

I live in Syracuse NY and we get an average of 130" a season. In the last few years, our city plow drivers have found a new way to piss everyone off. Not only do they plow the driveway back in but now have figured out if they drive 30mph with a plow it will not only throw the snow on the edge of the road but it flys over onto the sidewalk. so everything you do is for nothing.

Idk why it's so satisfying to see snow getting plowed lol i guess its nice to know these guys are probably saving lifes from the idiots using half bald summer tires going 45+

HEY JIM THIS AINT DIRT YOU DO KNOW THAT RITE ? HAHAHAHA great video dude!

i'm a snow fighter myself for the state of NY,those are the looks i get when i'm out doing my job,some may see it as just running up and down pissing people off but the reality is they want you out there until its down to black top, we are not allowed to record ourselves snowplowing otherwise i would post some videos.

Very considerate plow driver. The guys that work for my County would see you trying to snowblower your driveway, turn around and make pass after pass in front of it until the apron is completely filled in.

Being stuck in traffic because of dangerous road conditions and seeing a fleet of snow plows pass by must be what getting saved feels like.

Winter wonderland!!!!!

Pretty cool to watch. So many laughs per day do you get out of filling in a freshly plowed drive way? lol I would have way to much fun with that job.

Great Video.

I do this everyday for a ski resort in Canada. Tons of satisfaction after a fresh plow and Sand.

i don't know why but I like watching these

hey, fantastic video, im from nova scotia as well, and things can get pretty hairy up in cape breton. but i know one thing for certain, ill definitely be getting another plow for my 3/4 ton because im sock and tired of shoveling

Many years ago the Dept of Highways in my area would send out someone and wait for everyone in the area to get their drive ways cleaned out then send out the plows to block them.They thought is was a big joke to plug every ones driveway just after they had it cleaned out.So one night the supervisor was at work and a group of my neighbors gave him payback. 2 guys that had dump trucks completely filled his drive with many loads of snow.It wasn't so funny then. Payback is a bitch.

Plowing snow is so much fun, i enjoyed my time in public works. Sucks when your not the first on the road and other vehicles pack it down into ice.

Hell yea!!! I say, if it's gonna be gloomy and cold af. there might as well be a couple foot of snow on the ground. I wish it snowed this much these days, some years we are lucky to have a couple inches on the ground.

keep 'er between the ditches thanks for keeping the rest of us moving

Saw the Nova Scotia flag! I'm from New-Brunswick! Winter have jjst began haha nice video!!

Be glad when the new videos come on for 2018.

cool ride along txs for the upload....* thumbs up... !!!

Nice, wish this weather would be here more often (Holland).

thanks to people like you, we don't have to go out with barefoot.

I was going to ask if you were running a side plow, but that pretty narrow road you are plowing.

Wish I could do that, looks neat.

I like snow but dam, lol not this much. Cool video 👍

Cool Video JimHowDigsDirt Wish we had that much snow here in Chicago, IL and just be as happy if we get some similar weather like we had back in 2011

1:40 ya, I'm just gonna pass this plow truck......

nice of him to slow down and not throw the snow as hard at the people with the snowblowers

Like the name you gave it, liked the ride along. One question? how do you know where the road/lane is?

To all drivers who do these, thank you.

Wow...You really have watch for the people plowing and snow blowing their driveways. You can tell they have no clue that they could be getting run over by the plow truck. It’s a good thing your so cautious.

I would love to experience snow. Looks so cool. It never snows where I live

This has always been my dream job. No joke. Sadly I am stuck to a fucking desk for work. I'm so dumb for not following what I really wanted to do. The only thing that has kept me sane is working a snow cat at one of our ski resorts here in Colorado on the weekends and my days off. It's pure heaven when I am doing that.

My dad drove plow for the province of NB. you need to be quite a person to drive. you miss allot of family time. Kudo's to you keep up the good work

ahhhhhhh can't wait to get some snow and start plowing you guys get trucks equipped about 4hrs from where I am

Heh. I can’t tell if you’re running a wing or not. The post cable seems to stay slack the whole time so I’m guessing no wing? Heh. I dunno. We just had our annual “snowplow rodeo and obstacle course” last week and it was a lot of fun for the operators and mechanics (me) alike. Stay safe!

Did you know this is the most hated people who snow fighting in norway. Just for one reason. Driving on fresh snow is better than on a just cleared road

At 4:28 Jim pushed the snow back to the guy's driveway! 😂 🤣😛 😜 😝👍

used to work for indot,, nothing like plowing I-65 at 50mph watching that snow fly with dead deer and chunks of blown tires from 18wheelers...kinda miss it bun now the pay

Doesn't look like the roads are all that bad really. Looks like fun driving weather :)

That job would freak me out (not knowing where the road is). Thankful for the folks who plow our roads.

Wow. That blades really oscillates

That's awesome where is this?

Where is this? I'm sure it's lovely when the snow melts, but I'm glad I live in Southern California.

Should see some of the guys here in Sweden plow... Haha, they come full throttle and any asphalt they catch comes with them, you can see the scrapes sometimes.

Thanks salt shaker!. stay safe.....

Well, from the East coast of Australia, currently in the south of China, I am watching you clear snow late in the night, Why ? I have never seen snow, except in comic books of white christmas. What a beautiful place you are in, right out of a comic book. Curious, Where is this town ? what do people do for a living there ?

It's amazing how many people c/o being plowed in. Our we suppose to clear their drive too

My favorite part was you plowing roads already plowed. And the residents started opening up their driveways and you re-plow the roads and re-blocked their driveways.

Starts snowing here. Gets tons of winter weather related videos

A couple of questions Where do you work? How fast do you travel plowing snow ? Do you have a wing plow also?
