Snow Rules to Know Around Oswego
Make sure you aren't breaking any ordinances with your shoveling or where you chose to park if it's snowing.
It's officially time for all that white stuff to start making a regular appearance.
And that means you need to make sure you're obeying all Oswego Village ordinances regarding the snow.
Parking on the street
Parking on the street during snowfall? Think again.If there are more than two inches of snow on the ground and the plows need to come through you can't be parked on the street until it has been plowed or the snowfall has stopped, according to the Village ordinance 9-4-8.
Besides, leaving your car in the street is a danger for anyone who might clip it while driving if the roads are slippery.
Shoveling
We all love it when our driveways and sidewalks are clear.But you can't shovel all of the snow into the street.
As of January 2004, it is unlawful for residents to shovel snow from their drives onto the street, according to ordinance 8-2-13.
Consider making a giant pile in your yard instead that the kids can play in, make a fort out of or that you can use to build the foundation of your own snow castle.
Enjoy the snow - just keep it legal!
