Snow removal workers gear up for first major snowfall of the new year

With a heavy snowfall blanketing the Eastern Townships early Tuesday afternoon, local snow removal workers began to mobilize in preparation for a long night.
Gabriel Magee, the owner of Les entretiens Magee, told The Record that the key is making sure the machines are greased up and running right. It’s also a small operation, he explained, as he works alongside his wife and father.
“I’m the one that goes out no matter what, but then they also come out depending on how much snow we get and how fast it falls,” said Magee.
However, there are curfew rules to consider in Quebec. No one is allowed out after 8 p.m. unless they meet the exemption requirements listed on the government’s website. Magee needed to double-check with the Sherbrooke Police Service before gearing up.
