Windsor's mayor is not too concerned the city has gone through half of its snow removal budget in one major snowstorm.
Crews were working 24-7 over four days and three nights following the major dumping of snow which began on Friday and continued sporadically over the weekend.
In the end, the city used up $2-million of its $4-million snow removal budget for this year which includes November and December of this year.
But speaking on AM800's the Morning Drive, Mayor Drew Dilkens says the budget is based on a ten-year average so Windsor is in the ballpark
Dilkens says the snow emergency was called for good reason.
"We need to declare the emergency in order to allow the drivers to work more hours than they are legally allowed in any given week," he says. "So it is a function of making sure that the folks that drive can continue to drive to move the snow off the road."
He reminds residents the snow removal budget doesn't end next month.
"That budget covers us for 2018, so we still have November and December coming up near the end of the year as well so you never know what is going to happen."
Over the two days of the snow event, Windsor received 24.9 centimetres of snow plus there was also some freezing rain for salters.
