St. Petersburg was prepared in advance for the first snowfall that fell in the city on Friday, November 14. The day before, the streets were treated with saline solutions, the head of the improvement committee, Sergei Petrichenko, said on Telegram.

According to the official, he instructed to carry out preventive road treatment so that possible precipitation at low temperatures and wind would not lead to the formation of slipperiness.

First of all, road workers prepared overpasses, embankments, intersections, pedestrian crossings and approaches to social facilities for bad weather.

Currently, 985 public utilities and 592 pieces of equipment are cleaning the streets of the city on the Neva. As Petrichenko explained, the weather can still bring surprises, so we must not lose our vigilance.

Snow will be transported to 11 stationary snow melting points and 7 stationary snow collection points, writes 78.ru . All enterprises are ready for reception.
