World's Largest Snowplow
Winter is no joke in Syracuse, New York. The average winter snowfall is more than 110 inches. That's more than 19 feet of the white stuff every year. With that kind of winter, it is no wonder that Syracuse has the world's largest snowplow. The Syracuse airport's snowplow is just like the ones seen at every airport in the country that deals with snow--except its supersized steel blade is more than 32 feet long and 4 feet high. In an hour, this huge blade can remove 8,500 cubic yards of snow.

You wouldn't believe the equipment they have out here for snow removal. That is an old article. The trucks are all yellow now and they have 4 or 5 of them. Then they have 4 or 5 with giant spinning brushes on them. Plus they have 2 more like that with giant blowers on them. I've worked here for a total of 15 years and other than 9/11 the field has only closed once due to weather. Cheeks out!!! 8)
