City of Kamloops plows out clearing first snowfall of the winter season
KAMLOOPS — It’s not much snow, and it’s only sticking in the higher elevations, but City of Kamloops Streets and Environmental Services Manager Glen Farrow says the city is on it.
Farrow says plows are out Thursday afternoon (Nov. 29) to clear what is accumulating in the higher neighbourhoods.
“We are prepared; we are ready. We have been on shift for over a month now. We’re on shift, our trucks are out and about, materials are ready and we’re attacking the snow — even the small amounts that we currently have,” said Farrow.
Though the region did get a snowfall in September that quickly melted, this is late in the season to be receiving the first snowfall of the winter — at least compared to the past two winters.
