St. John’s City Councillor Greg Noseworthy says crews have been working around the clock to try to get ahead of the snow.
“They have been at this 24/7 since it started. Obviously, this is a tough one. We’ve seen well over 60 centimeters in multiple areas of the city. I’m hearing 80 in some parts, which is significant. It has been challenging conditions, and we’re expecting more snow today as well,” he told VOCM
“With, flurries over the next couple of days, that’s going to lead to blowing snow, drifting. And with that, the roads will get filled in again.”
