Everyone knows where all this snow comes from – above us, of course. But where does it go to when we can manage to get it out of our way? So-called “snow farms” have been established in various locations throughout the city to serve as snow dumping sites where cleanup crews move the white stuff off the streets and other areas. The I-93 overpass (pictured to the right) and the Transfer Station at Brickbottom (below) are two such places that are seeing a lot of action with all the recent snowfall. It’s good to know that we have such out-of-the-way places too move the snow to. We know we’ve had enough of it on our streets, sidewalks, etc.
