Montreal snow removal workers have scooped up about 23 per cent of the fluffy white stuff as freezing rain threatens to hit the city on Tuesday.
"There is a rollercoaster forecast this week," said city spokesperson Philippe Sabourin. "You will need your scraper. You will also need an umbrella and our crews will have to adjust their operation regarding the freezing rain."
Almost 2,200 snow removal vehicles are taking part in loading operations to clear the approximately 10,000 kilometres of streets, sidewalks and bicycle paths in Montreal.
According to Info-Neige, the boroughs that have completed the most snow removal so far are Lachine (52 per cent), Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension (43 per cent) and Outremont (41 per cent).
The slowest are Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles (seven per cent), LaSalle (10 per cent) and Pierrefonds-Roxboro (11 per cent).
