Snow Plowing - Where's the Snow?

On Sunday, January 26th, at 2:20PM a cloud of dust drifted across our lawn as the Rome Township show plow went by our house (very fast) with the plow down. What made this unusual was the lack of snowfall for the day.Why was this road plowed, on a Sunday, when there wasn't a need???



Soon after the snow plow went up Joyce Road I took the following picture showing the dirt that was plowed up and thrown into our lawn and the lack of snow moved by plowing.



The following picture was taken at the top of the hill on Joyce Road and also shows the lack of snow removed by plowing.

 

This is a close-up picture of how the plow blade was scraping on the road surface and removing more dirt (road surface) than snow.
