A snow event is called when at least 2 inches of snow has accumulated in a single snowfall. Snow events are posted on the city’s website and local access cable television. During a snow event, residents have 48 hours to remove snow from the public sidewalk abutting their property. If snow is not removed in a timely fashion, the city reserves the right to have a contractor remove the snow and charge the homeowner for the service and administrative fee.
A snow emergency is called when enough ice or snow has or is significantly likely to accumulate to impede safe travel within the city.

The area between the sidewalk and the street is called the road right-of-way, and typically, any trees that are growing in that area are considered City trees.
