With continued snowfall, full-city snow removal is set to begin at 3 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Plymouth crews have been plowing and treating primary, secondary and residential roads throughout the past two days and will continue to maintain main and secondary roadways prior to the evening commute.

A snowfall of 2 inches or more prompts a snow emergency. While each snow event is unique, for a typical snowfall of 2 inches or more, city staff aims to have streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within nine hours after snow stops falling.

Please stay safe and drive carefully.

Seasonal Reminders

• Parking is prohibited on city streets after a 2-inch snowfall. Parking may not resume on the street until it has been plowed curb-to-curb.
• Keep garbage/recycling carts out of the street.
• Remove items in the right-of-way (basketball hoops, landscaping and more) to prevent plow damage.
• Help keep fire hydrants clear and remove snow from around mailboxes.
• Wait to shovel until the street is plowed to mitigate duplicative shoveling.
• It is illegal to shovel snow into the street.
• Use salt wisely: One 12-ounce coffee mug of salt is enough to cover 10 sidewalk squares or a 20-foot driveway. Salt only works at temperatures above 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
