"Blowing snow" would appear that the grader has been by and you can park, <br />but within 48 hours blowing snow could fill the street back in and you will be in <br />violation. Section B says a warning tag must give 24 hours notice and the proposed <br />ordinance allows 4 hours. Administrator Achen explained that in Section A the <br />words "blowing snow" were inserted because they were in the Coon Rapids ordinance. <br />The prior proposal required certification that three inches has fallen. In some <br />areas the snow may blow and drift to a depth requiring plowing even though three <br />inches had not fallen. It is not intended to burden the vehicle owner but to allow <br />some latitude for snow plowing. The reason for Section B is to allow the plows to <br />go back and clean -up the streets even if no snow has fallen. <br />
