Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories in Canada, is struggling to keep up with an above-average amount of snowfall. The city's public works and engineering director, Chris Greencorn, said this month's snow is nearly six times what fell at this time last year, and many residents have been shoveling snow from their driveways onto the road, which is against city bylaws. The city plans to join forces with contractors over the weekend and next week to increase snow removal and winter road maintenance throughout Yellowknife. While this month has been warmer than usual, a cold snap is expected to hit the city as early as Monday.
