Canton Public Safety declares a snow emergency when snow accumulation of generally five inches or more is predicted. The following prevailing weather conditions are also taken into consideration:
• Duration of the snow event
• High winds, drifting, blizzard-like conditions
• Warming conditions
• Sleet, freezing rain, etc
During a snow emergency, parking is prohibited on all streets in Canton to provide adequate access for plows and emergency vehicles. Voluntary compliance is appreciated, but the traffic order does provide for enforcement action to be taken up to and including vehicles being ticketed and/or towed.
Snow emergencies are declared by Canton Township and not by the Sunflower Village office.
