City snow crews are working on a handful of remaining snow-covered residential streets today as they finish cleaning up after Saturday's winter storm.
Plows also were making a second pass through already-plowed residential areas to clear snow pushed onto streets after people shoveled their driveways, said Scott McIntyre, Omaha's street maintenance engineer. That work will likely continue until late tonight.
McIntyre said street maintenance workers planned to treat major routes - Dodge Street and 72nd Street, for instance - with ice melt overnight to prevent slick spots during Monday's commute.
They'll also start repairing potholes, which had already started to crop up today. That work will continue through the week "now that we've got this moisure out and we'll be in the freeze-thaw cycle."
The storm dumped 9.1 inches of snow at Eppley Airfield.
