Tarrytown Declares Snow Emergency

TARRYTOWN, NY — The village of Tarrytown has declared a snow emergency in advance of the storm that will be affecting the Hudson Valley Friday night.

The effective times of the snow emergency will be 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Sunday, unless circumstances require it to be extended.

Village officials said all residents should park vehicles off the road in driveways, whenever possible. If you live near and regularly park on a snow emergency zoned street, you will have to move your car before the storm.

If there is no other parking in your immediate neighborhood, the village allows free overnight parking during snow storms in Parking Lot D down by the Recreation Center for residents for the duration of the snow emergency.

Streets located in snow zones are listed here.

Response and Clean-up: Rules for Residents and Businesses

• Pursuant to Chapter 259-37-A of the Tarrytown Village Code, Sidewalks, driveways and access areas much be cleared of snow and ice within 18 hours of the end of the storm.
• Do not shovel or plow snow and ice into the street. Instead, shovel it to grassy areas, or put on the sidewalks at the curb or alongside driveways so as not to obstruct parking.
• Chapter 259-37-B requires that where snow has melted and formed into ice, the ice must be removed within two hours. Since the temperatures are forecast to be on the low side, as low as 10 degrees, salt will not work as effectively as other ice-melt chemicals like calcium chloride.
• Sidewalk café operators should bring in their tables and chairs by Friday night so that the snow cleanup efforts can take place. Tables, chairs and barriers may be put back out after the storm has ended and the snow and ice have been cleared.
