LIE Snow REMOVAL!

[levittownnick]

I live work and play on Long Island, NY. It has struck me in the past that Snow Removal on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) is amazing in that there appears to be very little snow remaining on the right shoulder and almost none on the left divider/shoulder. This was a substantial snow storm, where and how did they get rid of all that snow. I can't even imaging trucking away that volume of snow, I don't think that is possible within the time frame of the clean-up. Do they use chemicals to remove the snow?
If you know, please respond because I would like to know.
On all other roads that I've travelled, I can see the piles of snow that was removed from the surface.

Thanks,
Nick

Probably blew the snow into the back of a rolling convoy of dump trucks.

Lots of videos and pix floating around after this storm asking

why cant WE get one of these

I am wondering if they work from the inside (left lane) and plow the snow towards the outer lanes. . . There seems to be no center strip to accumulate the snow, like many Interstates have.
