Premise: In a Facebook post Thursday, the Burlington Police Department announced it would begin tagging and towing vehicles that are parked on city streets that have not been cleared of snow or dug out from being plowed in. The announcement cited the city's abandoned vehicle ordinance, which permits towing of vehicles that have not been moved for 72 hours or more. Vehicles left snow-covered and snow-bound are eligible to be tagged, then towed if not moved within 72 hours. The department urged residents to help family members and neighbors to clear the snow and move vehicles to avoid towing.
Hypothesis: Cars can be towed is they are covered with snow.
