Wednesday morning I had an opportunity to ride with Cleo Weedrich, who has been cleaning and salting Sioux Falls streets for 25 years!

Cleo, who was salting the roads overnight, says downtown Sioux Falls streets are officially clear of snow.

"We've finishing the streets here in the downtown area this morning.  We kicked off our clean up operation when the snow hit the ground on Monday.  Once the plows went through, we applied chemicals to get the streets nice and clean. "

Despite the frigid cold this week, Cleo says the city wide clean up operation stayed on course!

"It hasn't been that bad.  The snow started and stopped in the same day.  On  Monday, we were already cleaning residential and finished up overnight.  Everything has gone rather well!

Around 130 city employees participated in the clean up.
