It just keeps coming! A friendly reminder: Don't park on city streets or in parking lots overnight so our plow crew can do their jobs. Also do not shovel snow onto the sidewalks. Let's keep kids and all pedestrians in mind during the winter months.
And keep an eye out for our winter wildlife- Do not approach or feed
the animals! #keepthemwild
