Winter Hanging On

It seems to be a March tradition in Manitoba that winter provides one last blast of significant snow. This happened again this past week and it means that snow clearing equipment was out in full force on our roads and highways.

The Department of Infrastructure has reminded Manitobans to stay well back of all snow clearing equipment and not attempt to pass a snowplow from behind any time it is in operation and to slow down when passing approaching snowplows.

We can all sense that spring and warmer weather is just around the corner. But as winter gives us a final blast, driving to the conditions and being alert makes sure everyone driving and working on our roads gets home safely.
