It's been a week since the historic snow storm blanketed Montreal, and the borough of N.D.G. is struggling to dig out of the mess.

"We're not impressed"

That's what people are saying about the situation on the streets in N.D.G., with piles of snow still covering sidewalks.

"This is kind of ridiculous how this is." said one resident. 

Another woman said "When I'm watching the elderly, when I'm pulling them out of a snowbank, I think it's atrocious."

Borough spokesperson Michel Therrien says they're at the half-way mark, but they're still having problems.

"They put the snow on the sidewalk, and at some point our machinery is inefficient to remove that"

Meantime the city hopes to have the majority of streets and sidewalks cleaned by Sunday.
