City Clears Streets After Six Inch Snowfall
City workers cleared streets and restored power after six inches of snow paralyzed the city. City Engineer Robert A. Whiteford said melting snow prevented activation of the emergency plan and announced a parking ban this afternoon to finish street clearance. Chief Charles V. Main urged residents to remove snow from sidewalks and pile it at the curb, not in the street, as crews of four plows and four graders operated from 3 a.m. to open major routes.
