Photo / ODTAll southern highways closed by the weekend’s wild weather have now re-opened as the region cleans up from the winter storm. Brockville was covered in snow yesterday. Roads around Highgate had been gritted mid-morning yesterday, but snow had since fallen and frozen on top, making conditions treacherous. “Contractors will be patrolling roads overnight and treating arterial roads with grit or a de-icing agent where required to alleviate ice and frost. “While treating the roads helps to reduce risk, drivers still need to be particularly careful in icy, winter conditions.”The council website listed eight city roads closed due to snow.
