Winter is only half over but, already, homeowners in many parts of the country have had more than their fill of snow. With record snowfall hitting the Midwest and Northeast, there is growing demand for a solution to quickly clear the mounds of snow that keep piling up on driveways. That's why it is especially timely that this year marks the introduction of the Home Plow™ by Meyer.
Despite those efforts, scores of vehicles were abandoned after crashing or sliding off roads Thursday evening across the Pikes Peak region.The SIU has interviewed nine witness officers. Four civilian witnesses have been interviewed.Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is continuing its investigation into the firearm injuries sustained by a man during his arrest yesterday in the city's west end.Unlike those expensive, heavy, hard-to-install commercial snow plows currently on the market, the affordable, lightweight Home Plow is easy to install, use and store. As the only fully automated snow plow on the market for well under $3,000, it allows users to control all operations from the warmth, comfort and safety of their vehicles. A remote control handles hydraulic up/down movement, while the patented Auto-Angling™ system controls the left or right direction of the blade. No need to manually angle the blade. The Auto-Angling system senses the weight of the snow and automatically angles to push snow off to the side.Lower said 35-40 people were called to plow about 2 p.m. Thursday, hitting first the city's main streets with a sodium, magnesium and chloride compound named Ice Slicer, along with anti- skid, an 85/15 mix of sand and salt.Image Available: http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/frame_mw?attachid=1495751 Embedded Video Available: http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/frame_mw?attachid=1495813It is unknown whether Ice Slicer is the long-term fix to keep cars from sliding on the city's streets. The compound, which the city started using last year, costs about twice as much as the salt- sand mixture, though far less is needed to treat a street."(Snowplow drivers) were treating the roads as best as we possibly could," said Bard Lower, operations manager for the City of Colorado Springs Streets Division. "So yeah, I think we did great. But I wish we could have done better."
