Our tow plows will be out clearing snow in areas still being hit hard by blizzard conditions. If you haven't seen one, this is what a tow plow looks like in action.

This is how a tow plow works. You may be surprised the first time you see these on the roads this winter. The tow plow can be hydraulically adjusted to swing out to the right. Our skilled operators are highly-trained and use the utmost caution when plowing New York's highways. | New York State Department of Transportation
