There will be a Snow Emergency in effect beginning at noon time on Friday, February 8, 2013.

Salem Public School will be closed on Friday.

Please remember that during the Snow Emergency a parking ban is in effect, and vehicles must be totally removed from city streets and sidewalks or your vehicle will be ticketed and towed.  Ticketing and Towing will begin at noon time and be strictly enforced due to the magnitude of this upcoming storm.

During this storm all downtown municipal lots* will be available for snow emergency parking at no charge and the Museum Place & South Harbor garage snow emergency parking fees will be capped at $5.00.  Please note that vehicles must be removed from public and private parking lots, particularly at schools, immediately following the cancellation of the snow emergency, weekends included.

One Salem Green, Front Street, Klop Alley and the municipal lot at the MBTA train station.

We would also like to ask for your assistance in shoveling your sidewalks, hydrants and catch basins near your property. Also, as a reminder it is a violation to plow or blow snow onto city streets.
