Public Works has finished fitting blades and spreaders to the town's six plow trucks, and 2,400 tonnes of road salt are in the dome on Quarry Road.
When it snows, main roads, hills and bus routes are cleared first. Residential streets follow, normally within 12 hours of the end of the snowfall. Sidewalks near schools are cleared before the morning bell.
Three ways to help: move your car off the street when snow is forecast, keep bins and basketball nets off the road, and clear the hydrant nearest your home.
