The provincial government says all of its winter snowclearing resources are now at the depots and ready to go.

Winter struck parts of the province in a big way this past weekend.

More than 400 seasonal heavy equipment operators, management and staff have been recalled for the winter season.

The fleet of 534 snow plows and loaders are in service, and $35-million worth of salt and sand has been delivered to all 67 depots across the province.

Overnight snowclearing is done on 14 of the most traveled routes in the province, as conditions warrant.

The department of transportation and infrastructure says it has ordered 64 new tandem-axle plow trucks at a value of $24-million. The trucks are being manufactured and will be delivered over the next few months.

Minister Fred Hutton also asks the public to do its part, and ensure that their vehicle is properly equipped for winter driving.
