The first Indianola snow ordinance of the winter was issued last weekend, after nearly a foot of snow fell over the Thanksgiving weekend. The city issued 21 tickets and towed three vehicles for violations of the ordinance, which prohibits parking on any public street or alley for the duration of the storm and for forty-eight hours past the end of the storm unless streets are fully opened after plowing.

The City of Indianola issues a proactive notification of their snow ordinance going into effect if the forecast indicates two inches of snow or more is probable, and is in place until streets are plowed and cleared.
