(A) Snow emergency declarations shall consist of three distinct levels in order to inform the residents of the town the weather conditions and street conditions within the town, and to assist the street department in clearing the town roadways by eliminating unnecessary obstacles and stranded vehicles.
(B) The three levels shall be defined as follows.
(1) Level 1 RED snow emergency. This level may be declared when streets have become impassable and the Street Department personnel are unable to keep the streets clear due to severe snowfall and/or high winds producing drifting and blizzard-like conditions. Travel may be restricted to emergency personnel only and essential emergency travel by members of the public by declaration of the town, including any further restrictions which the Town Council deems necessary based upon the severity of the weather conditions.
(2) Level 2 ORANGE warning snow emergency. This level may be declared when conditions are threatening to the safety of the public. Only essential travel on the town streets is recommended.
(3) Level 3 YELLOW watch snow emergency. This level may be declared when routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas of the town due to a hazardous situation. Citizens should use caution or avoid these areas.
