We are asking residents not to park on the street starting 12:00 AM Saturday, January 24, 2026, through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2026.

This helps our plow trucks safely clear side streets and prevents vehicles from being blocked in by snow.

Reminder: Northwood Police will issue a snow emergency once 2 inches of snow has fallen.

Thank you for your cooperation and help in keeping our streets safe!
