The emergency order also provides fines for homeowners who plow or shovel snow into the road. Homeowners will be held responsible for contractors hired to plow or shovel snow as well.

Village officials also asked residents to avoid driving on the roads, if possible, in order to make it easier for crews to clear the snow.
