FAIRBANKS (AP) — It’s bright orange, can turn on a dime, and it whizzes up and down the sidewalks of Fairbanks at a brisk pace. Steve Carter, the self-titled “snow ninja” who drives the city’s latest addition to its snow removal fleet, said that passersby often point and stare at the big man in the little machine as he goes about his job. It doesn’t bother him, though, because there’s no question that this strange-looking vehicle clears sidewalks better than anything the city has used in the past, he said.
