Motorists are asked to remove their cars off city streets

Beachwood Police put a snow parking ban on city streets on Wednesday after a blizzard hit Northeast Ohio.

According to the department's Twitter feed, motorists are asked to move all cars that are parked on streets within city limits. The ban will allow workers to plow and salt the streets.

It is up to Police Chief Mark Sechrist to lift the ban. The National Weather Service placed a winter weather advisory on the Cleveland area until 11 p.m. Wednesday. About four inches of snow hit the region as of Wednesday evening.
