COLCHESTER, Vt. -
From cars stopped in the middle of Interstate 89.
"It's a good way to get yourself killed," said VTrans employee Jerry Dubois.
To cars flying by and some ending up in ditches, Dubois sees a lot while he's out clearing the snow.
His day began around 4 Thursday morning and Dubois doesn't know when it will end as the snow is expected to last throughout the day.
While Dubois enjoys the long shift, he doesn't look forward to what he might encounter.
"They like to crowd you, the tractor trailers like to crowd you, especially when you come into the bridges," said Dubois.
And when they get that close Dubois says it can lead to accidents.
"I've banged off bridges before. I've broken mirrors before from off a truck," said Dubois.
The other issue is when cars go speeding by.
At times Dubois had to slow down to 20 miles per hour, but we witnessed a number of people driving by going much faster than that during our hour-long ride along on I-89.
He doesn't mind when people go by, but he says doing so isn't necessarily the safest thing to do.
"They're on their own if they're going by me," said Dubois.
This as we found out can be dangerous thing to do.
VTrans leaders say there weren't too many crashes or road closures.
They say that's probably because the storm was mostly snow which is easier to clear than ice.
