Kahnawake’s Snow Plows Out in Force
Written by Paul Graif on 4 February 2022
Kahnawake’s Public Works answered the call at 3 am Friday to work at full capacity to keep up with the latest winter storm.
Terry Diabo Jr is the Roads and Highway Manager at the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake.
“We’re dealing with it pretty well,” Diabo Jr told K1037 News. “We’ve got everybody out there as we normally do. We had people out there all night and then at 3 o’clock in the morning we got the whole crew out there to clean all the town roads, all the village roads.”
But the snow clearing is being complicated by the continued snow and especially the blowing snow as winds gust up to 50 km/h.
“It makes it very difficult and we’ll have a lot of issues with drifting especially down by the river and open areas around certain parts of the road where things will pick up and get windy. That is problematic for drifting,” Diabo Jr. said.
