Snow removal using jeep in Cherokee Orchard road, Gatlinburg, Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Park In the miscellaneous areas around the shops, at Twin Creeks and Cherokee Orchard, at the Visitor Centers, and at headquarters, the jeep is invaluable because of its mobility and flexibility. Here, the snow that fell during the February 18-20 storm is being cleaned from the Cherokee Orchard road. The jeep can efficiently handle snow up to about 12 inches.Snow Removal; February 1964 Monthly Report, II-R-SR-7894, Physical Facilities - Roads - Snow Removal Operations

Plowers plowing the snow road, Newfound Gap, Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Park Naturally, the individual pieces of equipment have various limitations, and their specific uses match together to produce a unified snow removal operation over the entire range of elevation from Newfound Gap to Oconaluftee and Sugarlands. Here the V-plow pushes the berm back in an effort to widen the cleared roadway. This plow is the bruiser, the heavy-duty unit. It is large enough to handle the heaviest snow accumulation we have been faced with.Snow Removal; February 1964 Monthly Report, II-R-SR-7884, Physical Facilities - Roads - Snow Removal Operations

Oshkosh blade plow, Newfound Gap, Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Park Storms often occur when large accumulations are recorded at high elevations and up to 6 inches fall on the lower slopes. Such was the case from February 18th to 20th. The drag plow, attached to a stake body dump truck, is effective up to a 6-inch accumulation of snow. It frees the larger blade plows for heavier work higher on the mountain. Here the drag is being operated in tandem with the old Oshkosh blade plow, which is on light duty, and is soon scheduled for replacement.Snow Removal; February 1964 Monthly Report, II-R-SR-7891, Physical Facilities - Roads - Snow Removal Operations
View of snow road, near Newfound Gap, Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Park The steeper and more critical roadway sections of US-441 are benched into the mountainside. It has been found that accumulated snow must be moved completely across the roadway and pushed over the side... That explains the lack of a developed snow berm on the inward side. The outside berm would be even higher than the present 6 to 7 feet if much of the snow did not roll on down the mountainside when it is plowed over. The berm serves the incidental purpose of keeping stray vehicles out of danger.Snow Removal; February 1964 Monthly Report, II-R-SR-7881, Physical Facilities - Roads - Snow Removal Operations
Road after plowing, Newfound Gap, Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains National Park When the storm abates and the plows finish clearing the roadway, the surface must be made safe for all traffic. Sanding appears simple, but a high degree of judgment is necessary to determine the proper mix to apply to the road. When the surface is soft, gravel (1/2-inch maximum size) is most effective. On ice, gravel is useless, but sand provides traction. When the road cover is melting, gravel must be used because sand washes away. Calcium and sodium chloride are mixed in varying degrees with the aggregate. In cold weather, the percentage of calcium chloride is increased, and in warmer weather, calcium choloride is not needed. Obviously, sanding isn't as simple as it looks... Sanded road.Snow Removal; February 1964 Monthly Report, II-R-SR-7899, Physical Facilities - Roads - Snow Removal Operations
