I took the opportunity to have a look at some of the snow clearing equipment here in the town of Fishkill. It's a small town of about 30,000 people, town meaning the equivalent of a district in the UK. The town has 200 miles of road which it keeps clear throughout the winter. It's an easier job than in the UK as the roads are straight and logically laid out. A far cry from the back roads of Penrith and The Border.
