Weather-related announcements

Anne Arundel schools 

Because of the snow Anne Arundel County Public Schools and offices will be closed on Monday, February 8. A Code Red is in effect for employees. The 2009-2010 calendar approved by the Board of Education builds in four days for emergency closings. With today’s announcement, AACPS has now used five days for emergency closings, though a request for a waiver of two of those days has been submitted to the Maryland State Department of Education. In accordance with the Board-approved calendar, any days beyond the four built in for which AACPS does not receive waivers will be added to the end of the school year to allow the system to meet the state’s 180-school day requirement.

Annapolis buses, refuse, sidewalks, parks

Due to the Level III Snow Emergency in the City of Annapolis and the need to focus our efforts on snow removal, there will be no refuse services provided Monday or Tuesday. This includes trash, recycling and yard waste collection.  There will be no makeup days.  Crews that normally provide refuse services will be assisting with the snow removal.  This decision was also made to ensure the safety of residents and our crews since placement of refuse containers becomes "shaky" at best on piles of plowed snow.

Please remember City Code requires the abutting property owner to clear the public sidewalk of snow and ice within three hours after the snow or sleet has stopped falling except when the snow or sleet stopped falling between 3 p.m. and 6 a.m., then the snow/ice must be removed from the walk before 11 a.m.. Please lend a helping hand to any neighbors who may be physically or otherwise unable to clear sidewalks.
