VIDEO: Snow Day in the 91原创s

Digging out after heavy snowfall

Trevor Jones was clearing the sidewalk on Fraser Highway in downtown 91原创 City early Saturday morning, methodically scraping away the several centimetres of snow that had landed overnight.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a busy night for us,鈥 said Jones, who works for B and C Commercial Snow Clearing.

Throughout the 91原创s, snowed-in businesses and residents were digging out.

Township of 91原创 crews worked around the clock to clear local roads in the wake of the heavy snow, operations manager Brian Edey said, with all 22 of the Township鈥檚 trucks on the road.

City of 91原创 director of engineering Rick Bomhof says the municipality had a full stockpile of salt at the works yard and could get more in if needed.

The Environment Canada forecast was calling for a cloudy day, with rain beginning early this evening and ending before morning. There is a chance of wet snow over higher terrain.

There will be wind, south at 20 km/h increasing to 40 gusting to 70 near midnight.

Low will remain above freezing, at plus 3.
