"It's been a lot tougher because we ve tbad a lot of freeze-thaw cycles where we've been battling freezing rain, and then rain washing off the brine and then having to go out and reapply salt. It also appears to me. we've had a lot of the storms on the weekend, so we're definitely paying out more in overtime," Mr. Siksna said. , "It may take us a while to get there, but we do cover our routes. The most important important thing is to drive according to the road conditions," he added. •; Regional roads technician Mike Slo- combe said a storm of this nature usually costs the Region up to $250,000. ; i "If you get like 35 or 40 centimetres of snow, the biggest killer -- and it takes a long time to do it -- is the removal of the snow! That starts to jack up the price," Mr. uSlocombe said. 4 v i Meanwhile, Durham Regional Police ■Services reported 10 accidents between 6:45 and 9 a.m. on Tuesday -- roughly the same start compared to any other day. "It's not too bad. On an average day we have about 21 accidents... so about right on par," Sergeant Paul McCurbin said. Weather forecaster David Phillips of Environment Canada said the storm that began late Monday likely brought more snow to areas closer to the lake because of easterly winds. Although Wednesday will be partly sunny with a high of -4C, he said strong wind gusts will not make the situation situation any easier for motorists. "A lot of the snow that has fallen... 1 will just be blowing around and drifting, so we'll still have some dangerous driving driving conditions even after the snow has stopped. It's the length of the storm that's a little bit of a surprise," Mr. Phillips said, adding that such storms usually only last about 12 hours. "Typically in March (and) April, we get another 21 per cent of annual snow fall... so don't expect this to be the last snowfall. We still have six weeks to go. Our forecasts forecasts for March are showing colder than normal conditions, so we think there's still a lot of winter left in the air," he warned.
