When I lived in St. Louis, I found out they had no specialized snow
equipment. Now they are far enough north to get a foot or two of
snow over the winter.
One year we lived there they got dumped on similar to what DC got, a
couple of feet overnite.
They would attach the snow plows to the front of the garbage trucks
and plow out the streets with those. Good use of a multi purpose vehicle.

Interesting. However, that doesn't mean it makes economic sense. Normally
the DC area might get one good snowfall a year; nothing multi-purpose
equipment like plows and loaders can't handle. And they can be used year
round. Arlington's snow melter(s) would basically sit in the garage 363 days
a year. I wonder what that costs them?
