The City of Montreal expects snow removal to be completed by Friday

As Montrealer’s collectively stretch out their sore backs after a weekend of shovelling, 15 additional cm of snow is forecasted to hit the city between now and tomorrow afternoon.

With city-wide snow-clearing operations underway, officials expect a few more days of digging as they expect to finish by this coming Friday.
