Snow Sirens Blarring in Evanston IL

[Robert Gift]

A SNOW siren??

Why?
We can't tell if it is snowing outside without being audibly notified?
How ridiculous.
(But it would be fun to hear a siren in a very quiet snow fall.)
I love the way snow can quiet the out of doors.

snow emergency sirens were once again blaring in Evanston on Tuesday, alerting motorists to move parked vehicles from snow routes or risk being towed or ticketed, city officials said.

The sirens were not issuing a snow alert to signify the fall of snow, but rather to warn you that conditions are bound to get very dangerous. Believe me, there are stupid people out there.

Its simple, if the siren is going off, and your car is parked on the street, it will be ticketed or towed. Makes it harder to dispute the ticket.
