The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Chittenden County, including the city of Burlington starting at 1 p.m. Nov. 11 through 1 p.m. Nov. 12. The city issued the parking ban this morning asking residents who park on the streets of Burlington to park elsewhere from 10 p.m. Nov. 11 through 7 a.m. Nov. 12.

The details

Those who live outside of the downtown sector are asked to move their cars from the roadway starting at 10 p.m. In the downtown sector, residents must move their cars by midnight through 6 a.m. Nov. 12, according to the Department of Public Works.
