Full Notification

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING, 2/6, TO 4 PM WEDNESDAY, 2/7. A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibility, and use caution while driving. Additional information can be found at www.weather.gov/iln.

In anticipation of this weather event, OPD would like to remind everyone that no vehicles may be parked on any snow route DURING ANY LEVEL OF SNOW EMERGENCY AND/OR when snow and/or ice accumulation is 3 inches or greater. Any vehicle found parked on designated streets is subject to towing and impoundment at the owner's expense. In addition, the owner/operator may be cited for a violation of O.C.C. 351.16, a minor misdemeanor. Snow routes in Oxford are designated by a red, blue, and white sign. To view the designated snow routes map, and for additional information regarding snow emergencies, go to http://www.cityofoxford.org/snow. If and when a snow emergency is declared or modified, we will send out a follow-up message.

Miami's parking services permits Oxford city residents and Miami students who do not have university parking permits to park in the Ditmer lot or the 24-hour section of the West Millett parking lot during a snow emergency. Cars must be removed from the lot within 24 hours of the end of the snow emergency.

When in doubt, err on the side of caution --- park somewhere else so that street crews can clear the major thoroughfares.

Do not call Police Headquarters for weather or road reports during inclement weather. For road reports, visit Buckeye Traffic or call the Butler County Emergency Information Hotline at (513) 785-5800.
