State Transportation officials say they could possibly spend more than they budgeted for during this year's winter storm season.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation budgeted $60 million for this year's winter storms. That includes prep and post-storm clean up.
They already spent nearly $58.4 million preparing and responding to the snow events from last month. Now, they anticipate last week's storm could cost about $20 million.
According to a spokesperson, if funds exceed what was set aside, additional funds can be taken from emergency reserves.
