 Metro Snow Team @ Work!
We want to express our appreciation for all the members of the Snow team for their dedication to serving our city.

Though the snow routes are clear, their work continues as 25 crews have been deployed to apply salt on side streets, still ice-covered due to the continued freezing temperatures.
