(La Porte, IN) - La Porte residents should not worry about getting rid of leaves that are covered by snow right now.  A major warm up is on the way and the city is continuing with leaf pick up which has been delayed due to the early taste of winter.

During last night’s city council meeting, Mayor Tom Dermody said leaf pick up is resuming.

“We had a late drop of leaves.  An early snow caused an issue but they’re continuing to get them.  Continuing to pick-up,” he said.

The forecast is calling for temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s for at least the next seven days.

Street department crews are working clockwise making multiple passes through neighborhoods to collect and dispose of leaf piles that have been left at the curb.
