Well, it looks like winter wanted to have one more show before spring! Thank you to Public Works, who have been out since 10 am yesterday 
. There was significant snowfall over the last 24 hours - if you’re wondering when things will be cleared of snow, please view these Snow Removal Guidelines
Public Works is a team of 6 people, and they pride themselves on their ability to remove snow quickly and efficiently. They aim to begin snow removal no later than 8 hours after snowfall.
Typically, they begin sooner than 8 hours. Dependent on the amount and length of snowfall, it could be 12 hours, but this is rare. Public Works' priority is always to have snow removed during morning and evening commutes so you can be as safe as possible on Middleton's roads.
