Norfolk snow emergency still in effect

NORFOLK, Neb. -- The city of Norfolk is reminding residents that they are still under a snow emergency.
Snow may no longer be falling from the sky, but a snow emergency is still in effect in Norfolk.
The Norfolk Police Division is reporting to News Channel Nebraska that they have had to ticket several vehicles for violating the snow emergency rules.
Under the city of Norfolk's snow emergency rules, no parking is allowed at all on cul-de-sacs and emergency snow routes. On residential streets, parking is allowed only on the even house-numbered side of the street; however, it is strongly encouraged that citizens park off the street if possible, so snow plows can clear the streets. In a snow emergency, citations will be issued to vehicles that violate these guidelines.
The emergency routes can be seen in the photo above.
The police division is also reminding residents to not dispose of snow on the streets when clearing their driveways and sidewalks.
Residents can call the City Snow Number at 402-844-2299 to know when a snow emergency is in effect or not and can sign up for Norfolk Emergency Text Alerts, or text norfolkalerts to the number 74121, to receive all emergency text alerts from the City of Norfolk.
