The City of Vernon says its crews are working through the priority route process as they clear all the snow and slush from local roads.
The main streets come first for clearing, followed by residential roads, then lanes and cul-de-sacs.
And there has been a lot of snow to clear: Environment Canada said it’s been the fourth snowiest January in Vernon since 1990 with 71 centimetres as of Wednesday, not far off the 87 centimetres in 2015.
“Now that the extreme cold snap has ended, snow is starting to melt across the city,” said Christy Poirier, manager of communications and grants. “Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures above zero for the next few days, which means areas that were covered with compact snow are now starting to face slushy conditions.”
