With a winter storm warning in effect, and forecasts of up to 8 inches of snow as well as high winds, North Liberty has declared a snow emergency beginning Saturday, Jan. 31, at 9 p.m.

During the storm, roads may be slick or impassable; drivers are urged to avoid travel if possible.

Each 12-hour period that a vehicle is parked or remains on any public street in violation of this ordinance constitutes a separate and distinct offense.
Additionally, residents are reminded to clear their sidewalks within 48 hours of a snowfall.
