How do you clear the roads when the amount of snowfall over 36 hours amounts to the height of the average Canadian adult?
You get creative, and look to the ski hills.
When 168 cm (5’6”) of snow fell in the Terrace-Kitimat area between February 5 and 7 (4pm-4am, 2015), local maintenance contractor Nechako Northcoast brought in heavy equipment from outside, such as graders, loaders, and three snowcats. Typically used on ski hills, these cool cats are designed to move very large amounts of snow.
Big thanks to Nechako North Coast for being so resourceful in handling a challenging situation.
