"We remind residents that depositing, pushing, or blowing snow from private property onto public streets, sidewalks or fire hydrants is strictly prohibited," police said. "Additionally, while the snow emergency parking ban is still in effect, vehicles should remain off the streets to allow for continued snow operations as we prepare for additional snow accumulation throughout the day and evening on Monday."

Marblehead was among the North Shore cities and towns where residents woke up to 20 inches or more of snow Monday night with enhanced totals because of a coastal effect across the region.

"We urge residents to be cautious on the roads and to limit travel if possible," police said. "Before traveling, make sure your car headlights and brake lights are fully functional, check your tires, ensure your gas and coolant levels are full, and equip your car with an emergency kit, ice scrapers and blankets. In the event of an emergency, always dial 911."

Marblehead Public Schools were closed on Monday.
