The big question, though, is what is a heavy-duty snowplow doing in a junkyard in the middle of the desert?

Depending on which part of the desert this is in, such a truck might not be so inappropriate after all.

You are right, Ddey65. Some area at the desert could have a fiery snow out there...

In the movie, US Marshal Larken (the man pictured) had trouble starting it up. It's possible that it was used in a snowy area and ended up in the desert junkyard after being sold. Either way it was more of a plot device as the giant plow allowed the National Guardsmen in the movie to regroup and repel the ambush by the prisoners.

Typhlosion is right. If you remember in this movie, they have a vicious sandstorm that allows the prisoners to disguise themselves as guards. Sand and snow behave the same way. Seeing as it is abandoned at the abandoned airport/boneyard, it was most likely put to disuse when the airport closed down.

It was probably used to clear the runway after a sandstorm happened. It could also be used to pull planes and clear junk away since the airport is not like a commercial airport and can afford specialty airplane tugs, which wouldn't be necessary for the small planes this airport takes anyways.
