And $35,000 an inch on weekends?
The answer is below the fold.
Snow removal in Danbury, Conn. That’s according to Mayor Mark Boughton. You’ve got to like a mayor who has the dollars-per-inch figure ready when a reporter calls.

Wow. Think if they had more than a few inches of roads. I bet it would be less expensive to just walk the few inches.
Vertical or horizontal inches? And since we’re talking units, shouldn’t volume be used, after all, we’re clearing cubic feet of snow, not linear inches or area. In short, a nice visual but operationally useless, as the wrong dimensions were used in the comparison.
@Ariana That was my question!
What Cost $25,000 an inch on Weekdays?
I was thinking the USS Enterprise or any aircraft carrier. But they cost $250,000 per inch and if you include the airwing it is more than double that.
I bet there’s an inch or two somewhere in the NYTimes that costs $25,000, maybe with color…
Yes, astronomical indeed, but we are talking government spending here and one should always ask!
If we go with an inch of snow that falls why does it cost more to clear 1 inch than 2 inches. Do the snowplows have incremental blades that go up by inches? Are there no semi-fixed costs involved? Do we double the drivers pay for each inch?
And that is the royal “we”. The sun is shining mightly here in Colorado.
