 Brainerd snow plows have finally finished clearing the record breaking amount of snow the city received over the last week of December. Brainerd saw over a foot of snow between December 26th and 27th and then nearly a half a foot more on New Year's Eve. The large amount of snow in a short amount of time along with the snow plows breaking down on Wednesday left some roads unplugged while the city focused on major roads first. It was not until early this morning that all snow removal was completed from last week's storms. It was a large snow event, so everything did take us quite a bit longer to complete all of the removal. We just finished up with hauling all the cul-de-sac snow away today, which is kind of the last thing that we do. Overall, it went well for the first large snow, you know, as we talked before, it's the largest snow in December and it kind of hit us hard, but our guys are glad it's over with and we'll get ready for the next one. Now, Brainerd City Engineer Paul Sandy also said that the warmer temperatures over the past few days have helped eliminate that last little bit of snow that was left over from the storms.
