A little extra?
There is nothing little about snow removal, not the equipment, the time frame, nor the costs. Do they use garbage trucks down there?

A little extra compared to what they are already paying, and compared to what it would cost to buy a bunch of new equipment to handle this kind of storm.

If such a service existed, they could even cut back on the equipment they keep on hand.

They had already called school off for today and tomorrow, and now they have called it for Wednesday as well.

They are using at least one of the school's parking lots for piling the snow up. There are huge mountains of snow piled up blocking everything at that school. Supposedly, they are bringing the snow melter in soon.
