The City of Ithaca is preparing for a winter storm expected to bring freezing temperatures and significant snowfall beginning on Sunday. The City has announced that odd–even parking regulations are in effect to ensure that plows and emergency vehicles have proper access for snow removal. Vehicles parked in violation of these rules may hinder snow removal efforts.

City officials urge residents to monitor weather conditions closely, especially the risk of overnight freezing temperatures. Icy roadways and sidewalks may develop even before the snowfall begins. Residents are advised to allow extra travel time, avoid unnecessary trips during peak snowfall, and check on neighbors who may require assistance. Homeowners should also keep sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

The City’s Department of Public Works has mobilized crews to prioritize arterial roads, emergency routes, and steep or high-traffic areas. Equipment, staffing, and response plans are in place to manage the snowfall and maintain public safety throughout the storm. If conditions worsen or additional measures become necessary, the City will provide updates through official channels.

For further details and updates, residents are encouraged to monitor City communications and weather advisories and subscribe to City alerts. Residents experiencing a power outage should report the issue to NYSEG at 1‑800‑572‑1131, use NYSEG's online or mobile reporting tools, or check the NYSEG outage map for restoration updates.
