(1) The Mayor or his designee shall declare a snow emergency whenever two inches of snow has accumulated within the city.
(2) The Mayor or his designee may declare a snow emergency at some time prior to an accumulation of two inches of snow, if, in his judgment, the weather conditions are such that an early declaration of a snow emergency would promote the effective implementation of the city's snow removal plan.

(D) No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited any snow upon any street or alley of the city on that portion of the traveled way cleared or scheduled for clearance of any snow accumulation.
