"As a reminder we ask for everyone's help adhering to park bans when they are issued," said Sullivan. "The bans are to help clear the streets, parking spaces and sidewalks in the fastest and safest way possible.

Sullivan added that Municipal Maintenance will be ready for snow removal and sanding/salting operations during the storm.

The National Weather Service warns that untreated roads will become covered in snow and slick. Also, visibility will be reduced.
