Different use for a ADT

Did anyone catch the CNN article about the weather in Europe being just as bad as we have it here? They very briefly talked over a video of an airport and the problems they were having with delays. Across the bottom of the screen goes an ADT (Volvo, 25-30ton?) with a snow plow on the front. Thought it was a novel alternative use for a otherwise pretty dedicated piece of equipment.
They also mentioned China and showed how they are dealing with the vast amounts of snow; a lot of it being moved by hand!
Seems America isn't the only one with extreme winter weather.

That is even more cool than what I saw!!!
The machine I saw was a normal ADT with the dump bed and a snow plow on the front. Obviously there are many ways to utilize the ADT that I haven't thought of.
THANKS FOR THAT PICTURE. That would be a cool custom build.

Not the biggest one, but still a ADT.
3 point lift at the front.
10t/20'pounds of payload.
You can see the winter tires too.
