Snow Emergency Declared In Greenwich: Here's What To Know

GREENWICH, CT — First Selectman Fred Camillo on Friday afternoon declared a snow emergency that will restrict on-street parking throughout Greenwich. The emergency will go into effect at 6 p.m. and continue until further notice.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the Greenwich region with snow forecast to begin late this afternoon that is expected to rapidly intensify from light to very heavy between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Roads are expected to become covered with snow quickly during this timeframe and snowfall rates may exceed two inches per hour at times during the evening, the town noted in an announcement.

Major forecast models are projecting that Central and Western Connecticut could receive between 8 and 12 inches of snow during the storm.

Banning on-street parking will enable the Department of Public Works crews and its contractors to effectively clear town roadways. Residents should park their vehicles in their driveways or in their yards. The public can also use municipal parking lots to park their vehicles.

A list of snow emergency streets is below this post

Per town ordinance, Greenwich property owners are required to be responsible for keeping all sidewalks along their property clear of snow and ice.

The Town of Greenwich prohibits plow contractors from pushing snow from driveways or parking lots onto town streets. This practice is dangerous and impedes the Town’s snow removal efforts.

If there is no other alternative to pushing snow into the street, the private plow driver must plow off the windrow left across the street by re-plowing until the road is safe.

Restaurant operators are also responsible for cleaning the sidewalk along the front of their respective property. Businesses with handicapped parking stalls in front of their storefronts are responsible for clearing access from the stall to the sidewalks.

Residents should help clear nearby fire hydrants to help first responders in case of a fire call.

Homeowners should never attempt to turn on or shut off natural gas service.
