During a major snowstorm, Sanitation Worker O'Neal is driving a truck with a quick hitch plow along the 1200 block of Arden Drive, one of the city's main snow routes. When the snow is over two inches deep, residents are restricted from parking on streets that are designated snow routes. The snow on this day is already four inches deep.
