FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Snow Emergency Declaration 11pm Saturday Through 6pm Monday
DE PERE, WI – Relying on weather forecasts from the National Weather Service that are calling for 12 or more inches of snow, the City of De Pere is declaring a Snow Emergency from 11pm Saturday Night, March 14, 2026 until 6pm Monday evening, March 16, 2026. If you are out and about Saturday night, please plan on finding parking in off street lots.
A Snow Emergency Declaration prohibits vehicles from parking on City Streets during this time to facilitate snow removal. Because of the amount of snow predicted, the likelihood of drifting due to high winds, and the duration of the event, plow crews will need to complete several iterations of snow removal. Therefore, vehicles should be removed from the roadway for the entire duration of the Emergency.
Vehicles remaining on the street are subject to enforcement actions that could include being towed at the owner’s expense, which no one wants to see. Thank you for your cooperation, which will help our Public Works plow crews better clear the streets of De Pere.

The City of De Pere will also be suspending garbage and recycling collection on Monday 3/16/26. The garbage and recycling collection will be delayed one (1) day due to Winter Storm Elsa, the forecasted high winds and snow totals. Monday garbage and recycling routes will be collected on Tuesday, Tuesday routes on Wednesday, Wednesday routes on Thursday and Thursday routes on Friday. This is being done to allow our team an opportunity to focus on providing safe winter travel and to minimize blowing around of garbage and recycling as well as carts being tipped over due to wind and snow.
Stay safe and stay warm.
Jeremy A. Muraski, Chief of Police
