Snow removal in Winnipeg, MB
Book local snow removal in Winnipeg
In Winnipeg the City plows public sidewalks and back lanes, but the ridges of snow those plows leave at your approach and along the lane are yours to move. Many homes have a garage or parking pad off the back lane, so the lane windrow is often what stands between you and the street. Wind also drifts snow back over cleared driveways, so a second pass is often needed after a storm.

What winter looks like in Winnipeg

Typical snowfall. Winnipeg's Richardson airport averages about 114 cm of snow a year (Canadian Climate Normals 1981-2010). Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Climate Normals 1981-2010.
