    I've never seen this before, but I left home and got on the highway behind a plow with a tank of water on a trailer. I then watched as the plow moved the trailer into the right lane and the plow stayed in the left. The trailer had a plow along the entire right side of it. It plowed both lanes on 694 at the same time. It wasn't down to the pavement completely, but enough to drive safely on. The axles on the trailer pivoted and the trailer arm was rigid and actuated. Very cool!
    Sounds like a form of Echelon plowing. Did it look like the tiny photo on the left of this site? http://www.mrdc.ca/inside/jpage/1/p/...ing/content.do

      And it's a great morning for my snow blower to die!

      I've got my handy PDF spec sheet up, but who knows. This stuff doesn't come naturally to me. My dad would probably look at it, hit it with the little sledgehammer, and tada off it goes. I'll be nerdily removing and inspecting spark plugs unnecessarily for hours.

        Very similar. I've always loved echelon plowing. Cool to watch five or six plows in formation just destroying the snow. It's cool to see they can do an ok job in the middle of the storm with a single plow for an entire two-lane highway.

          OK, I have been seeing these threads for several years now, and I sometimes read them. I have one question, "What do you mean by 'arguing' in the title?" I see a lot of discussing but no arguing. Arguing is what I have been particpating in on the RPI and Union threads for the last week.

              Its something I threw into the original title when there was a lot of Minnesotans having a heated discussion about the current weather they was having. Figured it would keep it out of the Lodge.

                  As Biddco wrote it is a lot of what is or did happen here, not arguing.

                    Just as a follow-up, arguing is a heated debate. What you guys were doing was bickering.

                      Like most things, it was better back in the day... The current thread has nothing on the "Hey Duluth/Superior" thread

                              Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.

                              m: I came here for a good argument.
                              A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
                              M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
                              A: It can be.
                              M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
                              A: No it isn't.
                              M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
                              A: Look, if i argue with you, i must take up a contrary position.
                              M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'no it isn't.'
                              a: Yes it is!
                              M: No it isn't!

                              A: Yes it is!
                              M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
                              (short pause)
                              a: No it isn't.
                              M: It is.
                              A: Not at all.
                              M: Now look.
                              A: (rings bell) good morning.
                              M: What?
                              A: That's it. Good morning.
                              M: I was just getting interested.
                              A: Sorry, the five minutes is up.
                              M: That was never five minutes!
                              A: I'm afraid it was.
                              M: It wasn't.
