With more snow expected in Peterborough, so comes snow-clearing frustration. The City of Peterborough has some suggestions for shovellers.
Peterborough Public Works supervisor John Czerniawski says it’s important to vary your snow-storing locations, especially after significant snowfalls.
“Don’t create lines-of-sight issues for yourself, and try and be proactive where you pile your snow,” he said.
Fred Levitt, who came to Peterborough from out of town to help clear a family member’s driveway of all the weekend snow, says his snowblower helps keep banks at bay.
“It keeps them lower yes, it gives you a better siteline moving in and out of your laneway,” said Levitt.
According to Peterborough weather analyst, Dan Durran, Peterborough is expected to see another major snowfall on Monday.

Residents are warned to not pile snow on any city roads because that can carry a fine, according to the city’s snow removal bylaw. If residents are running out of places to put snow, the city can come to take a look.

“If you don’t have a snowblower, maybe hire somebody that will do it,” he said. “There are people with snowblowers that will do it for money.”
During a snowstorm, when snow-clearing operations are underway in the city of Peterborough, parking or stopping a vehicle for any length of time on a city street carries an $80 fine and the vehicle may be towed.
