The Blizzard of 2013 has produced a historic snowfall. Throughout our region, it has left streets and highways difficult, if not impossible, to drive.
City crews have been working very hard around the clock to clear the snow from our streets - a job that will take some time to finish.
Please, for your safety, I would urge you to stay home and off the roads.
I would also urge you to be careful in removing snow from your driveway and sidewalk. Please do not overdo it when shoveling. And please be very careful when operating snow-blowers.
Also keep in mind that the city parking ban will remain in effect throughout Saturday and maybe into Sunday.
By the way, something that you can do that can protect your home is to shovel snow from fire hydrants near your house.
City workers and I are continuing our round-the-clock work to ensure your safety and get our city dug out and through this historic storm event.
Thank you very much for your patience and for pulling together as a community.
Be safe and take care.
