High-tech snowplows and artificial intelligence have been instrumental in helping cities recover from major storms, with public trust rising due to the integration of upgrades such as video monitoring, GPS mapping, and AI into snow operations. Syracuse, America’s snowiest city, was among the first to implement this, with a goal of clearing every street within 24 hours after a storm. The new system allows officials to monitor live video and plow locations in real time, and a public map updates every 5 minutes to show which roads have been cleared. The technology also helps ensure roads aren't oversalted or cause environmental damage. New York City's approach differs from that of its upstate neighbor, where every block receives the same treatment during a storm, with each plow assigned a specific route.
