I didn't think this was gallery worthy, but I thought it was cool enough for here!  I caught this pic of some of Hopkins' snow removal equipment as they worked on the berm of taxiway Juliet this evening.  I swear, the city is doing an awesome job this year, and it may just be my imagination but it seems as if they either have more equipment, or a larger staff to use it because they have been out almost constantly this winter thus far.

So, a tip of the hat to the Hopkins crews!  (Tonight's little excursion by the Cleveland Gladiators Challenger not withstanding!)  :icon_salut: :headbang:

The testament to their work is that I can only remember once in the last 7-8 years that the entire airport has closed due to snow.  They may close a runway every now and then but the enitre airport closing is a rare thing.  I have noticed that over the past couple of years they have been receiving new equipment.  Here's a link to the company's website - the videos are pretty cool:  You need to be a member to view our links.

The new units the city has been getting are like these - combination plow and brush units:
