A few notes as we prepare for another winter storm and some of the worst cold we’ve seen in years …
- Salters went out around midnight, and we switched to plowing around 1:30 a.m.
- As for plowing, please be patient as we do our best to keep up with the snow. We have more than a dozen pieces of equipment that may be used at any one time, clearing our streets, alleys and sidewalks.
- City offices will generally be open. Monday garbage pickup is cancelled; it will be be collected on Friday. Other city services may be impacted. Check out our Facebook page for regular updates.
- The Grobschmidt Senior Center is also closed on Monday.
- South Milwaukee public school students were already scheduled to be off on Monday, with the end of a quarter. Activities and sports are also now cancelled, and staff does not have to report, according to the school district Facebook page. The fitness center is also closed.
- Divine Mercy and Zion Lutheran Schools are also closed. So is Knights of Columbus, according to WISN.
- Here is information on our local ordinances around snow removal. The basic rule: You have 24 hours to shovel from the end of a storm.
- Don’t forget to shovel out those hydrants, even if it’s not in front of your house. It could save your life, or property.

You need to get people that have corner lots to shovel out the corner so people can get through.
Yes! That includes the corner of Rawson and Chicago.
I think the mayor and Alderman should shovel out all the fire hydrants in their district / city . Maybe their wives/ Children can help them !!
