We know it’s a lazy day for many but with the snow falling the Street Department will be out clearing the streets. Accumulations of 4 to 6 inches are expected which means the snow ordinance is in effect. Please move your vehicles off the street until the snow and the streets are plowed from curb to curb which will not be until tomorrow afternoon. Thanks!

The meteorologists can’t agree on how much snow we are going to get tonight. Anywhere from 1/2 to 4 inches are predicted. Please move off the streets to be safe so you’re not caught in violation of the city snow ordinance. Thanks!

The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for the Perry area beginning at Midnight tonight. It is currently scheduled run through Friday night.
Our Snow Ordinance will also go into effect at that time. Reminder that the ordinance remains in effect for 48 hrs after the storm would end. This allows time for the street department to clear the roads curb to curb especially with the forecast of blowing snow.
Stay safe and avoid travel during this warning period.
