The below slides show how much eight communities have already spent on snow removal and how much, if anything, they have left. Snow budgets typically break down into four categories: overtime for city plow truck drivers, the cost of private snow plows, salt, and sand. Note that not all cities use private plows and that a detailed breakdown for all four categories was not available for all eight communities. Where available, a comparison to the situation at approximately the same time of year in 2011—a year which also saw record-breaking repeat snow storms—is also provided. Budget figures were collected from local city and town authorities. Communities are listed by the status of their budgets, from those with the most remaining to the cities that are deepest in the red.
