The brand-new 2012 Peterbilt snowplow that members of the New Sweden Highway Department have been waiting for since Nov. 1 arrived a few weeks ago, and Department Manager Shawn Dube says “So far, so good.” In the three weeks the department’s had their new plow, they’ve put 400 pleasant miles on it. Officials are hoping the new machine will see the department through the next 15 to 20 years. Shown standing next to the town’s new plow is Dube.
