Removing snow from the Rideau River

Ottawa

There was a team of these guys, perhaps 10 of them, removing snow from the Rideau River near its outflow into the Ottawa River, prepping for icebreaking.

Les effets de la neige sont bien saisis et la composition est excellente.

Looks like the guy on the right is trying to take out the other guy, or at least undo his work. ;)

I don't understand the purpose of removing snow before breaking the ice... it'll all end up in the river anyway.

A constant battle in your winters, I imagine. When we lived on Long Island the Department of Transportation (I think) plowed our streets several times a day, blocking the end of our driveway so my husband had to go out with the snowblower each time and clear it should we unwisely decide to get out on the road.

Des gens bien occupés ces temps-ci avec les nombreuses averses de neige! V

Oh, ice breaking. I thought maybe they'd have some skating or something more fun. :) Like that blowing snow and red zones. V
