Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers is issuing a reminder to residents of his community, with regard to the City’s Snow Ordinance. Brothers says “With the chance of accumulating snowfall to occur in Clarinda later this weekend the Clarinda Police Department would like to remind the citizens of Clarinda about the emergency snow ordinance.”

He says “The ordinance states that; no person shall park any motor vehicle or other apparatus upon any street of the city that will obstruct the removal of snow when there has been an accumulation of two (2) inches or more. Any vehicle left parked on any street in violation of this ordinance may be impounded, and the registered owner of the vehicle will be subject to a $15.00 parking fine, and payment of all applicable towing and storage fees in order for the vehicle to be released.”

The National Weather Service is predicting a 90-percent chance of snow Saturday afternoon in the Clarinda area, and a 60-percent chance Saturday night.
