Plowing Through Hurricane Irene

The hurricane's coming! Bring out the...snow plows?

Public Works Operations Manager Clem Langlois, Jr. will be combating today's hurricane conditions with winter season equipment.

According to Fire Department Public Information Officer Seale Tuttle, the public works department attached the plow equipment to some of the town's trucks on Thursday afternoon, in order to easily clear debris from Tolland's crucial roads.

"Don’t be surprised if you hear what sounds like a snowplow, because that's what it is," Tuttle said.

Public works employees have been using the trucks to clear minor debris on Tolland roads that may damage cars, Tuttle said.

Crews are still working to clear large trees and wires that are blocking town roads.

Safety and Plowing Tips for New Snowplow Drivers | Suite101.com

You've moved to the country and gotten yourself a piece of paradise on a long country lane. The local snowplow guys call your road a "goat path" and give you a price of $100 a pass. So you buy a snowplow. Is that really all there is to it?

Driving Tips for Beginning Snowplow Drivers

Not so fast, Cowboy! Before you hit the road, here are a few tips to keep you out of the ditches.

Choose the right plow for the job. A small driveway doesn't need the biggest plow out there. For light plowing, check out the personal plows on the market . Buy the best tires you can. Four wheel drive goes .anywhere, except on ice. Scout out the route before you plow it. Where is the snow going to go? You need permission to pile snow onto your neighbor's property, and you're not allowed to put your snow on city streets. Come up with a choreography. Each road is different, but if you're going to have to make multiple passes, start in the middle and work your way out. When you start pushing the show into where it will be stacked, go as far back as you safely can.. It's amazing how big a stack even a four-inch storm can made. When the next storm comes, you're going to need somewhere to put that snow, too. Go slowly. If you are plowing too fast and you trip the plow by kicking up some dirt or hitting a curb, a fast speed might wreck your rig. More mistakes are made by manuevering too quickly, or reacting too fast. In particular, when you're doing a lot of back and forth, be sure that you come to a full stop before you change gears. It's too easy to get careless about this. Plow in four-wheel drive, high gear. And no, plowing with a standard transmission is not a good idea. (You don't have enough hands and feet.) Plow with the storm: It's easier to do two six-inch passes than one twelve-inch pass. Tilt the plow when driving, epecailly at fast speeds on a highway: This lets air circulate around the grill, and avoids over-heating the engine.
