Potential for Winter Weather Ahead and Snow Emergency Protocol

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for 6:00am-4:00pm on Monday, December 14th for our region. While total accumulations of only 1-2 inches of wet snow are expected tomorrow, some outlets are predicting substantial snow fall amounts later in the week. Please monitor reputable sources, such as the National Weather Service, to stay up to date with weather forecasts.

The City of York wishes to remind residents of protocol for snow emergencies declared in the city. Before and during a major snow event, residents should stay tuned to media outlets, the City of York website, and the City of York Facebook page to be notified if a snow emergency is declared. A snow emergency has not currently been declared. This is general information being provided to remind residents of protocol.

Residents that live along a snow emergency route are reminded to move their vehicles as directed in the event a snow emergency is declared. The snow emergency routes within the City are as follows:

  • MARKET STREET, CITY LIMIT TO CITY LIMIT

When a snow emergency is declared residents will need to move their vehicles from these streets. Free parking is available during a snow emergency at the following locations. If vehicles are not removed they will be towed.
