Sand trucks?

Just slid through 2 intersections at a slow speed with 4 wheel drive. Dangerous driving out there with all the ice and ruts. Hopefully today!

Intersections

Monday morning, still sliding around in ice ruts. Saw a couple cars slide ride thru intersections again. Going in & off 26th street is very dangerous.

I’m glad

I’m not the only one who noticed this, I have brand new winter tires and abs and still sliding through every intersection. And the ruts pull you around everywhere. Not to mention the sidewalks, hopefully they get dealt with soon, can’t even go out for a walk in the evening for fear of bailing

Welcome to winter

We have had it really nice and easy. We forgot it was winter. Especially considering we are almost mid way through December.

Weather forecast looks good all the way to Christmas so for me no complaining.

Remember last year. Snow up to our eyeballs. -40 C temperatures. Bad roads all the time.

Now compare that December to now.

That is even more reason for the city to be right on the ball , no snow clearing budget used so far there should be man power and resources avaible

Tons of Sand

I live in the East end and this morning, my street was almost completely brown! The sand dispensed was a lot and appreciated because our road was quite slick yesterday! Good job City of Brandon!!
