Hydro crews took advantage of the mild weather Sunday during the last weekend of February to do checks on power lines at various locations around Prescott-Russell. The sunny Sunday was a welcome change to the snow squall that hit the region on Saturday.
Public works crews in some communities are also trying to clear away large piles of snow bordering the sides of some municipal roads.
Long-range forecasts from the Weather Network and Environment Canada predict milder weather continuing through March though there may also be an occasional snow squall before the first official day of Spring.
