It could be a decent winter when it comes to local roadways.
Mainroad East Kootenay operations manager Rob Stelmack said they expect more rain instead of snow.
“We’re looking for low snow precipitation, but high precipitation of rain because of lower temperatures,” he said.
“We could see higher elevation snowfall, but down low, it looks like we’re going to have a mild winter with lower mild temperatures instead of the drastic 25s and 30 blows.”
Residents can also do their part to help snow removal crews.
One of their main ongoing concerns is reckless drivers.
“It’s giving us the room we need to do our jobs properly and keep the highway safe. Don’t crowd us. Don’t follow too close. Don’t pass us in areas where you shouldn’t be passing and just make sure we’re not passing on the right.”
