Following the first significant snowfall event of the season, many communities in the listening area are conducting their snow removal operations. Regulations vary from town to town, but nearly all require residents to remove vehicles from on-street parking to facilitate efficient snow plow routes. Vehicles left on city streets may be impounded, with towing costs and fines potentially assessed to the registered owner. Residents are also obligated in most cities to clear snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of the precipitation event. For more information on your community’s snow removal ordinances, contact the respective city hall.
