To determine when the 24-hour snow removal time period begins, look for the “Weather” column, and corresponding time, on the National Weather Service website. You’ll find descriptions such as “overcast,” “fair,” “mostly cloudy,” "light snow," and "snow," etc. Find the most recent mention of “snow” (might also be “light snow”). Code Enforcement could begin enforcing the snow removal ordinance 24-hours after the last mention of snow.
