Dealing with Snow

It snowed all day Sunday and Monday, altogether around 30 cm of snow. If life is to go on as normal then much of that snow has to be removed from town. It's not easy to organise and needs rules, planning and equipment.
The snowploughs scrape the snow away from the roads and some pavements. They take the most important roads first so if you live in a dead-end road in a residential area you may have to wait a day or two. But they have to put all that snow somewhere!
This large pile is part of the answer. You can find a similar pile at each junction. Over the next day or two these piles will be  loaded onto lorries and driven to the snow dump outside town.
Then life goes on as normal until the next big snowfall when it all starts again.
