Feb. 8: Snow Emergency Alert

A snow emergency has been declared. Full city snow removal is set to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 8. City crews have been plowing and salting main and secondary roadways since 5 a.m. Saturday.

A snowfall of 2 inches or more prompts a snow emergency. While each snow event is unique, for a typical snowfall of 2 inches or more, city staff aims to have streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within nine hours after snow stops falling.

Please stay safe and drive carefully.

Seasonal Reminders

• Keep garbage/recycling carts out of the street.
• Remove items in the right-of-way (basketball hoops, landscaping and more) to prevent plow damage.
• Help keep fire hydrants clear and remove snow from around mailboxes.
• Wait to shovel until the street is plowed to mitigate duplicative shoveling.
• It is illegal to shovel snow into the street.
• Use salt wisely: One 12-ounce coffee mug of salt is enough to cover 10 sidewalk squares or a 20-foot driveway. Salt only works at temperatures above 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
