Although emergency snow-clearing efforts continue, several roads in the municipality remain closed and many of those not closed are treacherous.
The Municipality has 35 snowplows operating at present, Municipal officials said in a media release at 12:30 p.m.
“Officials estimate there are hundreds of stranded cars throughout the municipality,” Municipal officials stated.
“Police and EMS are attending to calls on a priority basis in terms of risk to life. Residents are advised to remain at home since crews are busy with existing incidents.”
A state of emergency was declared earlier today and the municipality remains under a Significant Snow Event status, Municipal officials added.
“Due to weather conditions yesterday and today, the municipality has placed a 72-hour ban on the parking of vehicles on municipal streets and roads,” Municipal officials say.
“The ban starts at 2 p.m. today, December 24, and will continue until 2 p.m. on Tuesday. December 27, 2022.”
The ban allows more efficient clearing of roads to enable emergency vehicles to have access where needed.
