The Windom Police Department has announced that a snow emergency has been called for the city of Windom, starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday until noon on Monday.
All vehicles must be removed from city streets and most city parking lots and stay off those areas until noon Monday, or until the street is cleared. City officials urge residents to pay close attention to the situation, keeping cars off streets as much as possible until the storm has passed.
Vehicles that are not removed from streets, alleys and lots during snow emergencies will be ticketed and may be towed at the owner’s expense.
The city has designated five areas people can temporarily park vehicles during a snow emergency. Those lots are:
- City Hall lot (Fifth Avenue between Ninth and 10th streets)
- Johnson Hardware lot (alley off Ninth Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues)
- ExpressWay lot (Ninth Street between Highway 60-71 and Third Avenue)
- Evangelical Free Church lot (Fourth Avenue between 10th and 11th streets)
- Westgor lot (11th Street between Third and Fourth avenues)
Vehicles parked in designated lots can return to their regular locations after streets are plowed and windrows are cleared to the curb.
