Nemo Could Blanket Scarsdale with 18" of Snow

It could be another big one! The Village is warning residents to expect 12-18 inches of snow by tomorrow, February 9.  All I can say is I hope the wind does not kick up. Many of us have still not made repairs to the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy – so another storm is not welcome here! And I don't know about you, but we have already worn out our welcome at our friends with generators.

The weather service has named this tempest Winter Storm Nemo, but forecasters warn there's nothing cute about it.

Be prepared: stock your refrigerator and get out your candles. Anyone who has a car parked on the street should move it now as the Village wants all streets cleared so that snow can be plowed.

Here's the notice we just received from Scarsdale Village:

The Village Administration has been monitoring the weather reports and preparing for the forecasted snow storm accordingly. It is likely by Saturday morning 12-18 inches may have accumulated in the Village. Snow removal efforts by the Village Department of Public Works will continue through the weekend until all the roads are cleared. Calling to report road conditions is not necessary; however, please call the Police Department at 722-1200 to report any downed trees or power lines. In addition, if power outages occur, please call Con Edison immediately to report your outage in order to get your electricity restoration in the cue. The Con Ed Customer Service number is 1-800-752-6633 (1-800-75-CON ED)

Private property Snow Removal:
Please remind your snow removal contractors to be mindful when plowing driveways and not leave snow on the public roadways. It is best, whenever possible, to shovel/plow the snow onto lawns and adjacent property, never into the street. The Village snow plows are working quickly and cannot avoid plowing the snow back across the 5,300 driveways in the Village, so if snow is plowed back across your driveway(s) please shovel it back out to the sides of your driveway, not into the street.

Parking
Residents may park their vehicles in the Freightway Garage from 3pm today and must be removed by midnight Sunday.

There are no other changes in the parking regulations. Overnight parking is prohibited on all streets in the Village. If at all possible please do not park on the street during the snowfall. Vehicles parked on the street prolong the snow removal process.
