Carson City officials are reminding all residents and business owners to remove ice and snow from the sidewalk next to their property.
“In Carson City, the property owner is responsible for snow removal on the sidewalk adjacent to their property,” states a press release. “With the recent storms and continued cold temperatures, many of the city’s sidewalks are a combination of snow and ice, creating treacherous conditions for pedestrians. Whereas in past storms warmer temperatures would melt the snow and ice, that has not been the case with the most recent storm and shoveling is going to be needed.”
The release said the city’s code enforcement division has been responding to complaints with reminders to property owners.
According to the National Weather Service, high pressure will keep the region cool for several days.
“High pressure will continue to block storms from reaching the Sierra and Western Nevada through the weekend,” the NWS website said Friday. “This high pressure, along with existing snow cover and light winds, will continue the cooler temperatures, valley inversions, and degraded air quality for at least the next several days. A weak system may brush the area by the middle of next week with ridging then setting up through the holiday weekend.”
