Deep dives
Clearing the Streets After a Snowfall
After a snowfall, city workers and emergency responders in the US and Canada have the crucial task of clearing the streets for safe travel. Snow plows are used to push the snow to the side of the road, while sand and salt are spread on the pavement to increase friction and prevent ice formation. Some cities, like Montreal, even have special snow dumps to handle excessive snow. Property owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks and applying sand and salt for pedestrian safety. Utility companies and school administrators also face challenges during and after snowstorms.
