SNOW EMERGENCY: In order to protect public safety and to provide access for emergency vehicles, no person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street, alley, or other declared area during any snow emergency proclaimed by the Mayor unless the snow has been removed or plowed from said street, alley, or area and the snow has ceased to fall. A snow emergency parking ban shall continue from its

proclamation throughout the duration of the snow or ice storm and the forty-eight (48)hour period after cessation of such storm except as above provided upon streets, which

have been fully opened. Such a ban shall be of uniform application and the Police Chief and/or City Clerk is directed to publicize the requirements widely by reminding the

public of said ordinance through available social media. Where either weather predictions, or actual conditions, indicate the need to declare a snow emergency, the Mayor shall issue the proclamation and either the Chief of Police or the City Clerk shall

inform the news media to publicize the proclamation. In addition, said proclamation shall be posted on the social media then available to the City of Williamsburg. Such emergency may be extended or shortened as warranted by the weather conditions
