KOB TV - City of Albuquerque snowplow drivers spent Wednesday preparing for the approaching winter storm, driving their assigned routes and looking for any problems with their trucks and equipment. The city has 45 snow plow trucks, and 35 of them are equipped to spread salt and cinders on icy roads. Wednesday's practice runs were scheduled weeks ago and the timing couldn't be better. "They're expected to go up and drive the route they're gonna be on," said city Municipal Development chief Michael Riordan. "They'll be looking for any obstacles that would be in the way when they're plowing. They're making sure they know the routes, how long it takes, what kind of fuel they have, when they can expect to come back to the shop, where they can refill their supplies."
