  Winter Parking Restrictions

 

No person shall park any vehicle for more than 30 minutes on any street in the Village of Saukville between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. from December 1, 2011 through April 1, 2012.

As The Snow Falls... 

snowplowThe Village of Saukville Public Works Department reminds all Village property owners that resident cooperation is essential to the success of winter snow removal operations.  Residents can help in the following areas:

 

Trash/Recycling Cart Placement: Cart must be placed with lid opening toward the street at the back of curb or shoulder, with a minimum of 3 feet between cart(s) or other obstructions.  Utilize your driveway or clear an area along the side of your driveway to safely place your recycling and refuse container.  

 

Snow should not be shoveled or blown into the street. This creates a hazardous condition for motorists and may require return trips by the snowplow to clear the street.  State Statutes and Village Ordinances prohibit this action and doing so may result in a fine.

 

Shovel snow to the right hand side of your driveway as you face the street. This helps to reduce the amount of snow pushed into your driveway by snowplows clearing snow from the street.

 

Move parked vehicles off of the streets prior to snowfall events. Parked cars are a hindrance to snow removal operations requiring more time and costly return trips to effectively clear the streets.

  

Removed sidewalk snow to the front yard instead of the area between the sidewalk and the curb. This provides more snow storage capacity between the sidewalk and the curb for snow removed from the street.

 

Check the condition of your mailbox and post. In most cases, a strong post and secure mailbox will withstand the impact of snow coming off of the snowplow.

 

Shovel snow from around your fire hydrant.  Clear snow away from fire hydrants located near your property. This effort helps the Fire Department and the Water Utility to manage the water supply system and to quickly respond to emergencies.

    

Thank you for your cooperation.

Winter Weather Facts

The National Weather Service (NWS) issues winter storm warnings and watches.  Here's what they mean and what you should do.

 

Winter Storm Watch - Winter storm conditions (heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain) are possible within the next 36-48 hours.  Continue monitoring the weather forecast.

 

Winter Storm or Ice Storm Warning - A significant winter event is occurring  or will begin in the next 12 hours.  The combination of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and moderate winds will impact travel and outdoor activities.  An Ice Storm Warning is issued when mostly freezing rain is expected with ice accumulations of ¼ inch or more within a 12-hour period.  Take necessary precautions - consider canceling travel plans.

 

Blizzard Warning - A dangerous event with winds that are 35 mph or greater in combination with falling and/or blowing snow that reduces visibility to 1/4 mile or less for a duration of at least 3 hours.

What is possible?  Residents can expect almost anything, ranging from killer dense fog and flooding rains to widespread heavy snows and blizzards that can isolate a village/city for days.  The only month without a tornado in Wisconsin's history is February!  Be ready!
