Snow White

I don't know how many people here live in locations that get a lot of snow in the winter months, but I live where winters can sometimes pile up that fluffy, fun, though often times debilitating powder quite high.

Inevitably it can create some large snow banks on the side of the roads where the snow plows have come through. At first, snow might be a pain to drive in, but not many can argue that it does make otherwise bleaker city locales look bright and rather nice. Though come a few days and sometimes even weeks, the temperatures stay just about freezing, and the snow banks stay put. Not only are they a real pain to pedestrian traffic, but they pick up all manner of dirt and mud tossed up by passing cars, and get brown and just plain filthy looking.

My idea is that in cities and towns where this is an issue, a company paid by the city, or even some sort of city beautification committee, occasionally has small trucks and perhaps other vehicles do quick load ups of the filthy snow, exposing the still white and attractive snow beneath. The expense would not be too much since it would only be a small layer every few days that the snow banks don't melt, and could also be justified by the fact that it does indeed help clear the sidewalks for pedestrians.
