Eric Murray snowblows the sidewalk

 

Last night's snow played havoc in the southern part of the province, with closed highways, school and event cancellations, and drivers ending up in ditiches.

 

Here in Portage, snow-clearing operations are well under way. Manager of Public Works Brian Taylor isn't concerned the snow we received will seriously slow clearing efforts.



Taylor points out they're still on schedule with snow removal, noting they're removing high accumulations on corners. He adds a couple of units are detailed to do that.

 

Taylor says the only thing that could impede progress is more snow, which would mean they'd have to focus on street clearing.
