A snow alert is not in effect at this time; however, city crews may begin removing snow from emergency routes and the core area before an alert is issued, and parked vehicles may be ticketed.  If you live on an emergency route or the core area please make arrangements for off-street parking, especially if snowfall is forecasted. Snow Alert procedures are listed below, are scrolled on TV Channel 6, and brochures are available at City Hall, 239 Wisconsin Ave SW. You may also call 353-8501 for Snow Alert details.

                    City Snow Removal Guide

• Declaring a Snow Removal Alert: A “Snow Removal Alert” means an authorized city official has declared that snow removal operations on the public streets will begin. The local news media will announce when a snow removal alert has been declared.

• Established priorities are: 
  1. Snow Emergency Routes and Core Area of the city. The Snow Route Map indicates these areas - for a list of these areas please click here. Remember that snow removal in these areas may start before a Snow Removal Alert has been declared.  Be aware of weather conditions and do not park in these areas is snow is predicted.
  2. Police, Fire and Rescue calls that need assistance, such as safe passage through icy areas or deep snow. In the event of a health, safety or welfare emergency this priority may become number one.
  3. All other streets not in the core area or on snow emergency routes.
      
• No Parking on Alternate Days: After the Core Area and Snow Emergency Routes are cleared of snow, the other city streets will be cleared. East-West streets or courts entering off of an East-West street will be cleared on even numbered calendar days. North-South streets or courts entering off of a North-South street will be cleared on odd numbered calendar days. No parking is allowed during a snow alert until snow is cleared from curb to curb on that particular street.
   
• Parking Tickets: City ordinances which prohibit parking during a snow removal alert are in effect and enforced on public streets during snow removal operations. The City of Huron Police Department is authorized to ticket and/or tow away any motor vehicle or vehicles found in violation. Tickets issued will be in the amount of $50.00.
   
• Termination of a Snow Removal Alert: A Snow Removal Alert will terminate on a particular street as soon as that street has been plowed and cleared of snow from curb to curb. Normal parking can then resume in that area.

Snow Hints:  To avoid receiving a ticket or having your vehicle towed, please familiarize yourself with the parking requirements. The city suggests that drivers make arrangements in advance for off-street parking.
