The Village of Bluffton anticipates significant snow Tuesday into Wednesday. Because many streets and cul-de-sacs are already inundated with piled snow, village officials ask vehicle owners to remove vehicles from village streets or park on the odd side of the street on Wednesday.

• Vehicles should be parked on the odd side of the street on Wednesday.

• Vehicles should then be parked on the even side of the street on Thursday.
