In the wintertime, the heavy dump trucks and snow-plowing Bobcats from Haynes Snow Removal can often be seen trawling the icy, snow-covered streets and avenues of the Madison area. The plows shove snowdrifts off the roads so that cars may safely pass and spread ice-melt products in those places where ice prevents tires from gripping the ground. The technicians also take their snow-clearing talents to private residences, where they blow accumulated snowflake piles off of sidewalks and entrance ways.
