The snow just does not want to go away in Regina.
After two straight days of snowfall, Regina residents are out in full force shovelling their driveways.
“This is my fifth time outside (shoveling) in two days,” said resident Darwuin Roske.
“I thought we were done with it but I guess we’re not. I don’t really like it but what are you gonna do?”
“I’d rather not shovel but at least it’s good exercise if nothing else,” Mick Williams said as he shoveled his driveway. “At least it’s not too cold, but I won’t be sorry to see the snow go.”
And while people hope it will melt, a little shovelling will go a long way.
‘Anything after April 1st, I say God put it there and he can take it away,” said resident Allan Parenteau. “But this is too heavy and too wet.”
According to CAA Saskatchewan, people generally did a good job staying off the roads unless necessary.
“All things considered, it seems like most of the folks heeded the warning and stayed off the road,” Peter Kreis, the vice-president of operations for CAA Saskatchewan said.
There were, however, a few calls for help.
“Yesterday we attended just a shade over 390 calls across the province,” Kreis said.
The City of Regina said winter maintenance crews are focused on cleaning up category 1-3 roads, which are ‘trouble spots’ as well as applying ice control
For now, residents are shovelling, hoping for spring to finally arrive.
“It will possibly happen again this year, but we cross our fingers it won’t,” Roske said.
