This storm has the potential to produce significant amounts of snow with strengthening winds as the storm progresses. Blowing and drifting snow will reduce visibility to under one-quarter of a mile at times.
Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibility will make travel extremely hazardous.

Failure to remove vehicles from these designated roadways may result in the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense. These parking restrictions are put into effect in order to allow the Public Works Department to clear the snow from the roadways, curb line to curb line.
All residents throughout the city are encouraged to park all vehicles in off-street parking or driveways to allow the Public Works Department to complete the snow removal operations efficiently and effectively.
Driving conditions are anticipated to be hazardous during this storm due to blowing and drifting snow and poor visibility. The Office of Emergency Management advises all residents to use extreme caution if travelling on the roadways. Travel should be limited as much as possible.
