Let there be sidewalks.

After all was said and done, Newton ended up with about 24 inches of snow from the Sunday-Monday snowstorm that brought chaos, school closings and scenic winter beauty to the Garden City.

It’s too early to say how much of Newton’s $3.55 million snow and ice removal allocation the city has spent dealing with the storm, but given the number of streets there are to clear in what was the eighth biggest storm ever recorded in Greater Boston, that cost will probably be significant.

Many of the roads in Newton were still covered with a layer of snow on Tuesday, and the emergency parking ban was in effect until Wednesday.

The police were kept busy, too. According to Newton Police Lt. Amanda Henrickson, officers responded to multiple reports of illegally parked vehicles (at least 55), snow complaints, well-being checks, motor vehicle crashes and neighbor disputes.

“Most of the disputes involved neighbors moving snow onto another neighbor’s property,” Henrickson said.

Sidewalks had to be cleared by Wednesday morning. So, if you own property and haven’t cleared the sidewalk in front of it, you may be subject to daily fines.

Mayor Marc Laredo, who’s been sending updates to the community throughout the storm and cleanup, said the DPW was vigorously making its way through the many 311 reports, scraping and salting the smaller streets, and would be clearing out the village centers in Newtonville, Newton Centre and along Washington Street, Wednesday night.

Don’t expect the snow to melt on its own until next week. Temperatures are forecast to stay in the teens and 20s every day for the next several days.
