Meet Madison’s First Female Snow Plow Driver
While most of us are sleeping, plow drivers across the city are at work. Like choreographed dancers, they all set about their routes, often working up to 16-hour days in some of the worst conditions, all to clear the way for us. So life can go on as usual.
Meet Margaret Kraege, the first female snow plow driver for the City of Madison.
