The city of Windsor is beginning what could be a long weekend of cleaning up residential streets.
Friday saw a record setting 18.4cm of snow-fall on the region and there's more on the way.
City Engineer Mark Winterton says more than 60-pieces of equipment have been working around the clock to keep Windsor's main streets passable.
He tells AM800 News Saturday morning's snowfall pushed things back, but more equipment has been deployed and will continue to be deployed to residential areas throughout the weekend.
"We have about 40 pieces of equipment working on residential streets right now, they're going to continue through until they finish," he says. "As our main routes get cleaned up, those [remaining pieces of equipment] will then be deployed into residential streets."
Winterton is asking residents to help out by keeping the roads clear.
"The level of service goes down significantly when there's a lot of cars parked on the street," says Winterton. "For your own sake, and to get the residential areas looking a lot better, get your car off the road if you can."
The biggest favour the city is asking of residents is to be patient, he added.
"We've got a lot of people out there and they're working around the clock. They're tired and frustrated as well, they want to get done and back to their families," he says. "It's important that we all work together and try and get through this. Some patience will go a long way."
He says roadside build-up is unavoidable while plowing, but residents can lessen the amount of snow at the mouth of their driveway by shovelling further out into the roadway.
The city is tracking what has and has not been done, so Winterton asks that residents hold off on calling in to 311 until early in the week if they feel they've been missed.
