Despite the added days, he said he estimates the removal will cost about $25 million.
According to Environment Canada, Montreal was covered by a record-breaking 47 centimetres of snow on Thursday.
"It's a historical storm," said Réné Héroux from Environment Canada. "We've never had this much snow in a day. In 1971, there was a lot of snow, but it was over more than a day."

Oh for crying out loud! I have to comment on this.
I grew up in Montreal in the 50-70's. Winter was HARSH. Snow was mountainous and post snow storm temps dropped to -25 F! We got a foot of snow a week. Winter was a looooooong 6 months. Get over it, will ya? It's a "cycle". You've been spoiled the last 40 years!
I lived downtown in 1976. My street Aylmer St, was buried in 6 feet of snow and didn't get ploughed out for weeks. We walked on top of the cars buried in the snow. I have the pics to prove it!
Wah, wah, wah,....you're in the Great White North and the Snow Belt, so deal with it.
