Full Notification

A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect in our area from 3:00 AM Sunday through 6:00 PM Monday, with 8-12 inches of snow and sleet anticipated. Governor Sherrill has also declared a State of Emergency for all 21 counties, beginning at 5:00 PM this evening.

SALTING & PLOWING OPERATIONS
The Department of Public Works will have an initial crew working tonight to begin salting main roads and known problem areas. The entire department will be brought in beginning Sunday morning and for the duration of the storm to complete all necessary plowing. 

Residents are asked to move all cars off the roads tonight in anticipation of plowing on Sunday. Public ordinance 2070 prohibits parking on any street in Westfield when three or more inches of snow have fallen until snowfall stops and the entire width of the road has been plowed. The Westfield Police Department will issue tickets for violations of this ordinance. Under these circumstances, the shoveling or blowing of snow into a plowed street is also banned.

Residents are also asked to stay off the roads on Sunday and Monday for all non-essential travel, which allows our plowing crews to operate more efficiently during anticipated hazardous conditions.

PARKING
Downtown residents without driveways may park in Lot 4 behind Baron's. Residents in other areas without driveways or the ability to park off-street may park in the Memorial Pool lot, on the tennis court side. 

In addition, the following locations are subject to alternate side of the street parking after three inches of snow have fallen, and vehicles need to park on the side of the street with even house numbers (except for Ross Place).

• 400 & 500 block of Downer Street
• 400 block of First Street

• Cacciola Place
• Cowperthwaite Place between Elm and Clark Streets
