The ruts and piles of snow are still frustrating many Calgary residents.

It’s taking weeks to clear out many neighbourhoods.

The plows showed up in the community of Varsity Thursday, none too soon for many people.

Roads were so bad drivers were constantly getting stuck.

Some elderly residents didn’t want to take the risk and leave home, so they’ve been housebound for days.

The city says it has removed about 100-thousand tonnes of snow from residential communities since the big snowfall in December.

The city says the amount of snow it had to deal with is unprecedented, and crews are still overwhelmed.
