I am not sure what that thing is. Does it remove snow? We have mostly had temperatures in the 80s for most of the winter this season, and hardly any cool or cold days. I wish we had cold days, because cold days are better for snuggling!
That is a street cleaner. Do they have these in Florida? There are big steel bristles on a rotating plate under the truck. The bristles scrub up the sand, salt, and dirt from the winter. They create a ton of choking dust all down the street.
A small tractor with a scoop in the front scrapes up the big piles of dirt and dumps its load into a dump truck, where the dirt is hauled away.
Every spring, for a few weeks, street cleaners run up and down the streets to remove winter’s grit.
We’re heading into Winter here in Australia but the seasons seem to be so messed up, we’ll have to wait and see if we have a proper winter or not. Last Winter, there were days that were hotter than in our summers!

Yay! If it’s coming to NY, then maybe it’s coming to NH too? LOL

Oh man! New Hampshire!? I thought waiting for spring was bad enough here in New York! lol!
I’ll do my best to have my politicians blow their hot air northward, Dawn.
