Wintry precipitation is in the forecast

City News Posted on February 11, 2025

Wintry precipitation is in store through the end of the weekend.  Please keep the following in mind: 

  • No parking is allowed on city streets for 12 hours after 2 inches of snow has fallen. Please remove your vehicle to allow Public Works crews to effectively clear streets of snow. Violators will be ticketed or towed. 
  • Be patient as plow operators make their way through town in this order: main streets, side streets and courts. If a plow driver passes a street without stopping, it’s because that street is not on his route. 
  • Do not push snow from your driveway into the street. It’s best to pile snow in your yard past the driveway in the direction of travel. See graphic below. 
  • Please clear the fire hydrant near your home in case of an emergency. 
  • Consider helping neighbors who are unable to shovel snow from public sidewalks, their walkways and driveways, and check on them after the storm to make sure they are okay. 
  • Remind children who are playing outside in the snow to watch out for plows and other emergency vehicles. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  Stay safe and warm!
