Snow Ban Declaration Procedure
SNOW BAN
Weatherly Borough shall place the Snow Ban in effect for whenever an appreciable amount of snow falls or is predicted. At this time, the information will be announced on the Swift reach Phone System and posted on both the Weatherly Borough and Weatherly Borough Police websites and Facebook pages.
Example;
Weatherly Borough is placing the Snow Ban in effect for 1/23/2024 at 8pm due to the predicted winter storm. All Vehicles must be moved by 8pm or they will be ticketed and/or towed. All vehicles should be removed from the posted Snow Ban side of the street and remain there until the Snow Ban is Lifted or Reversed
REVERSE SNOW BAN
When the storm has passed and the Weatherly Borough Road Crew determines that they have cleared the Snow Ban side of the streets and roads, they may then place the Reverse Snow Ban in effect.
Example;
Weatherly Borough is now placing the Reverse Snow Ban in effect for 1/24/2024 at 10am, all vehicles must be moved from the Non-Snow Ban side of the street by 10am or they will be ticketed and/or towed. All vehicles should be moved to the Posted Snow Ban side of the street and remain there until the Snow Ban is Lifted.
CANCELLATION or LIFTING of SNOW BAN
When the predicted storm fails to produce conditions warranting snow or ice removal or the Weatherly Borough Road Department determines that Snow Ban is no longer needed to accomplish its mission of keeping the streets clear, the snow ban will be cancelled or lifted. Example; Weatherly Borough is now Lifting the Snow Ban and regular parking may resume.
