Not again ...

Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that April Fool's is only one day in April and not the whole month.  

Just a reminder, the winter parking ban is no longer in effect however please help the plow drivers and avoid parking on the streets.   Between the freezing rain and heavy snow predicted, please take your time getting to your destination if you have to travel this weekend or even if you are running errands.   

Be safe and try to enjoy the weekend!

The Sturgeon Bay Police Department appreciates all the professionals that help the victims and for the resources provided to the victims and their families.  

Winter Parking Ban

The winter parking ban ended April 1st, however Mother Nature forgot it's spring and continues to shower us with snow instead of rain.   To help out the city plows, try not to park on the streets if there is a snow storm predicted.  

Typical Wisconsin Spring

The big question everyone is asking themselves, why more snow.  

Drive safe and be careful when venturing out to go vote this afternoon.
