Hauling snow is pretty common. It happens all the time here in Michigan. Quite often, snow is trucked to lakes with lower than normal levels.
Down around Detroit we also used salt and up in the Upper Peninsula we also used sand. The problem in Oregon is that this area is full of mountains. Big ones. You need to also worry about avalanches. It is going to take a lot of work with a lot of long hauls bringing the snow down from the mountains. Dangerous driving to boot.
Well, good to know. Wish they could bring in some big “haulers” to get as much of that snow out of there that they could get.
Down here (NC) we used those haulers to take out downed trees after Hurricane Fran. People were trapped on their streets from all the debris from that storm. I’ll never forget the caravan of big dump trucks taking the loads of trees out to this piece of land nearby and dumping it all there....and then I believe they burned it all. That went on for months.
Oregon obviously doesn’t have the luxury of that much time. Hope they get help soon. With their loads of snow. Brrrrr - I just shiver looking at those pictures!
