Ice-eater device works like a charm
On my sidewalk Saturday afternoon: a procession of four machines, an ice-eater plow followed by a regular plow, then another ice-eater and another regular plow. Only managed to video the second pair, but when they were done, the sidewalk ice was gone.

Cool! I want to see one of those! Great video. Thanks!

The ice chewing gadget wasn’t as big as I’d expected from pictures. But it works.
I’m wondering about later consequences, since we were told a couple of months ago that it couldn’t safely be used on thin ice or mixed surfaces. By the time these guys passed, this sidewalk was partly naked, partly iced in different thicknesses, partly puddles. Will it have damaged the concrete surface? Watch this space.

I can see the teeth pattern in my sidewalk where it passed. I’d call it damaged on my street.
