And that's how we do it in Minneapolis!

Y'all may remember my skepticism yesterday when I found signs sticking out of the snow indicating that the City of Minneapolis was planning to sweep my street the next day. Well, I take it back. Minneapolis is pretty inventive when it comes to doing things in the snow. There were actually 3 giant trucks backing and filling around in front of my house this morning, but I was only quick enough to catch two of them in this Vine video. Here comes the front-end-loader around the corner slurping up the remaining slushy sludge in the gutter. When the video loops it is just about to dump its load into that big blue dump truck. There is another great big truck with sweeper feet on it waiting behind the dump truck. As I drove off to work, the sweeper truck was trying (with fair-to-moderate success) to sweep up the leaves and other crap left behind by the front-end-loader.
