Storm-day checklist

Winter 2026-27
Checked November 2026

The day before

  • Sign up for your town's alert (link on your town card)
  • Check whether a ban is declared or a standing overnight ban applies
  • Find your town's snow lot or garage, if it opens one
  • Move the car to the driveway or a legal spot tonight
  • Charge your phone and put a shovel by the door
  • Note your town's side for winter 2026-27, if it uses one

Storm day

  • Check your town's alert page at breakfast and at dinner
  • Clear the sidewalk inside your town's deadline
  • Keep the curb ramp and hydrant open if your town asks
  • Push snow onto your own lot, not into the street
  • Never leave a car on a snow emergency street

After the storm

  • Clear the end of the driveway after the last plow pass
  • Check steps and walks for ice
  • If towed, call your town's police or DPW line first
  • Check trash and recycling notices from your town
  • Photos of the car and street help if you contest a ticket
