Mchenry County Municipalities See Hike In Labor Costs, Parking Tickets After Snowfall

WOODSTOCK – Snowfall that started Feb. 8 and ended Sunday morning in McHenry County cost at least one city thousands of dollars in equipment and labor required to keep up with the winter storm. Although some municipalities haven’t finished tallying the final cost of the weekend’s storm, others are celebrating their preparedness and success in keeping pace with the accumulating snow. In Woodstock alone, contracted services to clean and haul snow from the city’s downtown cost an estimated $50,000, Public Works Director Jeff Van Landuyt said.
