Miss Alaineous left a comment on one of my SNOWMAGEDDON posts, wondering how they get rid of all the snow in NYC.
Believe it or not - they actually MELT the white stuff and send it into the sewer system. Since 2000, the NYC Department of Sanitation has used big-ass snow incinerators (above) - which can melt up to 60 tons of snow per hour.
They fill the sucker up with snow...
It melts and gets shot down the sewer...
Pretty cool.
