The Tallinn Environment and Municipal Department is looking to rent land for snow storage during the upcoming winter season. Preference will be given to sites that are located in Tallinn, but as far away from residential areas as possible to minimize noise from snow storage.

The changeable weather, with varying degrees of plus and minus, brings with it the risk of slippery conditions as well as dangerous icy patches, so property owners need to monitor the amount of snow on their roofs, remove snow and dangerous icy patches, and provide de-icing in the area around their property.

In the coming week, from 21 to 27 November, residents of Tallinn will once again dispose of bulky waste at waste collection points free of charge.

The first snow fell in Tallinn last night and the weather forecast for today's forecast is rain and sleet, with roads likely to become slippery with night-time temperatures below freezing. The City of Tallinn's contractors will be carrying out preventative de-icing on major roads, but all road users should be cautious.
