City of Duluth provides update on snow

Saturday, March 11, 2:00 PM

[DULUTH, MN] City of Duluth staff are monitoring the weather forecasts provided by NWS Duluth this weekend. Flakes are starting to fly, and we have full crews and equipment out to keep main roads open for ambulances, buses, emergency vehicles, etc. The National Weather Service in Duluth is forecasting accumulations of over 6 inches, with 12 inches of snow or more likely over today and Sunday. This system is dynamic and difficult to predict, so we encourage you to follow the National Weather Service in Duluth to keep eyes on the forecast as it is refined throughout the weekend.

Thank you to City of Duluth street maintenance crews who will be out in full force day and night throughout the weekend plowing, sanding, and salting to keep our roads safe for buses, police, fire, ambulance, and other vehicles.

Residents can do their part in helping with street maintenance operations by remembering to get out and move their cars on Sunday between 4pm and 8pm from the odd to the even side of the road. Doing so will prevent crews from getting equipment stuck in neighborhoods with cars parked on both sides of the road. For information about alternate side parking, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/media/1118/parking-calendar.pdf.

For more information on our snow and ice policy, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/snow/.

A friendly reminder, too, that property owners and residents ought to shovel snow from the sidewalks abutting their properties 24 hours after a snow event so that residents who rely on pedestrian travel can do so safely.

The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews work to maintain roads during these snow events. We will continue to monitor the conditions and provide updates as we are able throughout the weekend. Please stay safe while traveling.
