Total snow accumulations of 25 to 40 centimeters are expected late tonight through Thursday night. Moderate winds will accompany the snow, producing local blowing snow. The rapid accumulation of snow could make travel difficult in some locations. Visibility will suddenly drop to near zero at times under heavy snow and blowing snow. Traffic may also be significantly impacted, especially during rush hour.
Priority : Snow Removal
City crews are asking for your cooperation, which is essential given the amount of snow expected.
In order not to interfere with the city’s snow removal operations, ON-STREET PARKING IS PROHIBITED throughout the city, until further notice.
Due to the exceptional amount of snow expected today and again, this weekend, residents should expect snow removal operations to continue into early next week.

The REM in Kirkland
Each year, the Town of Kirkland plants trees to replace those felled and to beautify urban landscapes. Here are a few tips to follow, to help tree survival in its first growth years (three years).
Watering must be done directly at the base, into the basin in order to be effective. Adding mulch around the watering basin is beneficial hence slowing down water evaporation and keeping humidity much longer. Watering frequency should be at least once a week, except during heavy rain falls, and should be increased during hot temperatures. At least 15 liters of water is needed per watering, to saturate the ground to a depth of 30 cm. Also, keep watering throughout the fall months, for as long as there are leaves in the tree.
Bark acts as a protection barrier that shelters the tree’s internal vital system. On young trees, the bark is tender, therefore fragile, thus the importance of keeping it intact! The watering basin ensures this protection by adding a buffer zone that prevents possible damages with lawn care equipment. A protector can also be kept in place at the base of the tree only if it is not tight around the trunk and if it has openings, allowing air circulation. After the tree’s critical growth stage in the first three years, the watering basin can be dismantled by leveling out the soil and adding mulch.
It is also important not to compact the soil around the tree, since this will hinder root development outside its trench.
Detrimental Practices!
