High winds are also expected with gusts up to 70 km/h, leading to reduced visibility and blowing snow.
They city again enforced the overnight winter parking ban Tuesday morning. The parking ban has so far been enforced 33 times in the 2014-15 winter season. According to city spokesperson Jennifer Stairs, it was only enforced 14 times in 2014.
As of the end of February the city had already plowed through all of it’s snow removal budget. As of Feb. 28, the city has spent $20,186,200 on its winter operations after budgeting for just under $20 million in 2014-15. Since then a storm blew through Halifax on March 14 leaving 21 centimetres of snow in it’s wake.
