He said the huge snowbanks are a draw for children to create forts and go sledding.

“Snow plow operators have a difficult time seeing children in the snow,” said Const. Burns.

“Please ensure that children are away from roads and to supervise them as they enjoy the weather.

“Lets make sure that everyone is safe this winter.”
