Snow Prep Takes Center Stage as Beverly Readies for Weekend Storm

Winter Weather Moves In

Beverly is heading into the weekend under close watch as a developing winter storm is expected to bring accumulating snow starting late tonight and continuing through Saturday. Forecasts for Essex County indicate the potential for several inches of snow, with conditions worsening through the day.

City officials are urging residents to plan ahead, especially if traveling Saturday, as road conditions may deteriorate quickly once snowfall intensifies.

Snow Emergency Parking Ban Announced

In response to the approaching storm, the city has declared a Snow Emergency Parking Ban beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 7. During the ban, parking is prohibited on all city streets to allow plows and emergency vehicles to operate safely.

Vehicles left on the street during the ban risk ticketing or towing. Residents are encouraged to move cars to off-street driveways or permitted lots before the ban goes into effect.

City Services and Safety Reminders

With snow expected, residents should also be prepared for possible service disruptions. Trash and recycling schedules may shift depending on conditions, and city offices could adjust hours if the storm intensifies.

Officials also remind residents to use caution when clearing snow, particularly during heavy or wet snowfall. Checking on elderly neighbors and keeping fire hydrants clear can make a meaningful difference during storms like this.

What to Watch Going Into Saturday

Weather alerts remain active, and the city is monitoring conditions closely. Updates may be issued overnight or early Saturday morning if forecasts change. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official city alert channels and limit unnecessary travel during peak snowfall.
