New York's Real-Time Snow Plow Map to Get its First Major Test This Weekend
PlowNYC is about to hit the big time.
PlowNYC, the interactive map that allows New York City residents to watch their army of plow-nosed garbage trucks deploy through the city in real time, will have its first test this weekend. Unveiled during last year's mild winter, it has yet to receive the same publicity as a similar program in Chicago.
But with a foot of snow in New York City all but assured by Saturday morning, PlowNYC is about to hit the big time.
