3. Tips for Residents to Follow During Winter Weather Advisories and Storms:
   • Be aware of parking regulations and once snow has begun, remove all vehicles from roadways marked "NO PARKING ON SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS," to enable plow trucks to clear the roads. In general, it is helpful to park vehicles in garages and driveways wherever possible and not on the street during a storm to improve street snow clearing and safety.
   • Remove accumulated snow from abutting sidewalks within 24 hours, to assist neighbor and school student safety. When clearing snow, be mindful not to shovel snow into roadways or adjoining properties.
   • Shoveling out neighborhood fire hydrants is encouraged to allow for quick location and access in event of an emergency. Residents should be aware of fire hydrant locations and street address signs that could become inaccessible due to snow accumulation.
   • Unless officially authorized, residents should never assume that frozen ponds or lakes are suitable for skating or other recreational activities.
   • Encourage Neighbors and Friends to Sign-Up for E-News and Nixle to receive Alerts and stay informed during weather events and emergencies. To register for E-News (CLICK HERE) and for Nixle Alerts (CLICK HERE).
