I actually tried that but it looked cluttered & made the chart harder to read, imo. So I just put it in the text up top: $63.

Ha I don't doubt it. I'm mainly familiar with Calgary's, um, optimistic approach to snow clearing but have driven a bit in other Alberta cities in the winter and yeah, it's not great.
