I remember seeing them years ago coming up at me plowing snow and didn't know whether to sh*t or close my eyes. That old Vee Blade was a scary sight.

Very cool. I don't see many of the wing blades any more (at least around here). The other day there were four plows spread across the lanes. Seems with the wings, one or two could have done it.

This reminds of being in college twenty plus years ago up in Houghton/Hancock Michigan. At the time I lived out side of town, but still along the highway. One Sunday I'm walking to church and I can hear something coming up the road behind me. I turn around and there is this huge plow going about 45 or 50 curling this wake of snow. I had to scurry up a hill or get covered with snow. I'm guessing the driver was a laughing his $#@%^ off.
