GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – With temperatures finally starting to warm up in Northeast Wisconsin, a lot of the snow left behind by last weekend’s blizzard will be melting.
With the melting snow, the Green Bay Department of Public Works is hoping to clear roughly 15,000 storm drains around the city to avoid potential flooding.
Along with removing snow and ice around the drains, the department is also clearing the snow in parking spots around the downtown area.
Crews have also spent a majority of the week picking up and dumping the snow in remote areas.
During this time of year, the department is usually doing its spring yard waste removal or road maintenance.
Steve Grenier, the department’s director, said crews will not begin their spring projects until they are finished clearing all of the snow.
