Snow Ordinance in Effect at 11 p.m. Today

Due to the amount of snow forecast in the area, the City of Ames Snow Ordinance will go into effect: 11 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 27, 2023.

Snow routes are marked by red and white signs. Vehicles must be moved to off-street parking or to streets that are not designated snow routes.

It is important to remember the Snow Ordinance remains in effect until the streets are completely plowed from curb to curb, AND it has stopped snowing. The Snow Ordinance will likely be in effect until 11 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28, but it could vary throughout the community due to plowing challenges.

With the additional snow forecast, all Ames residents are asked to remove parked vehicles from residential streets, especially those parked on circles or cul-de-sacs. However, only those on snow routes are required to move them.
