Yorktown and Peekskill officials are urging residents to stay off the roadways until the snowstorm ends Saturday.

During the snow emergency, all vehicles traveling on town roads must have either four-wheel drive, snow tires or tire chains. There is also no parking allowed on roadways. Any vehicle parked on a roadway may receive a summons and towed at the owner’s expense.

The Lincoln Parade and dinner scheduled for Saturday has also been postponed.
