How living snow fences help keep snow off New York roads

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:27:09 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- During the winter, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) works to remove fallen snow from the roads. After the snow is initially plowed off the roads, snowdrifts, which are mounds of snow that the wind pushes onto roads and highways, can cause major problems. Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! "Fine drifts can refreeze on pavements to form treacherous, unexpected patches of ice," said NYSDOT. "Moderate drifts can slow one side of a car, sending it into a spin. In the extreme, deep drifts may accumulate and make a road impassable, unless frequent plowing is done."How does NYSDOT try to prevent these snowdrifts? Sometimes plowed snow built up on the side of the road is enough to stop the wind from carrying snow into the road. Other times, forests can shield fallen snow from being picked up by the wind. In some cases, if there is a large area along the side of a road without any vegetation or large ...

Colorado wants to curtail use of gas-powered lawn equipment in bid to clean the air. But how far will state go?

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:27:09 GMT

Colorado wants to curtail the use of gas-powered lawnmowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers and other hand-held lawn and garden equipment, but just how expansive those restrictions will be rests with an eight-member commission charged with regulating air pollution in the state.On Wednesday, the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission will consider two proposals — including a potential ban on the sale of new gas-powered lawn equipment along the Front Range — as part of its efforts to clean the air. One proposal was created by a state agency, the Air Pollution Control Division, and the other was written by a nonprofit whose board is appointed by the governor: the Regional Air Quality Council.Gas-powered lawn and garden equipment contributes to the poor air quality along the Front Range because those tools release tons of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides — two key ingredients in the ground-level ozone pollution that is particularly bad on hot summer days, when ...
