Whenever the Mayor and/or Street Commissioner shall determine, on the basis of the falling snow, sleet, or freezing rain, or on the basis of an official forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau, of snow, sleet, or freezing rain, that imminent weather conditions will make it necessary that parking on snow emergency routes as designated by division (A) above be prohibited or restricted from snow plowing and other purposes, the Mayor and/or Street Commissioner may place into effect a parking prohibition on all snow emergency routes by declaring that such emergency conditions exist. In such declaration of emergency conditions, the Mayor and/or Street Commissioner may place into effect a parking prohibition on all snow emergency routes by declaring that such emergency conditions exist. In such declaration of emergency conditions, the Mayor and/or Street Commissioner shall state the time that the emergency shall become effective.
