Any such vehicle, trailer, or object so parked or placed is hereby declared a public nuisance and is subject to citation and/or immediate abatement, through towing or any other authorized action.
Full Breakdown
Weber County Code § 42-4-2-1 exists to keep county roads clear for snow removal and reduce collision and property-damage risk during winter storms. every night from November 1 through April 1, regardless of whether snow is actually falling that night. The same section extends the ban to any time it is actively snowing and for the 72 hours immediately after a snowfall ends, even outside the November-April window. A vehicle left in violation is declared a public nuisance and is subject to citation, towing, or other abatement at the owner's expense.
Sheriff's office deputies enforce the chapter under § 42-4-3 and § 42-4-4, and may move or order the removal of an offending vehicle. Registration in a person's name creates a rebuttable presumption under § 42-4-5 that they controlled the vehicle at the time it was parked illegally. Fines run through the general Chapter 42-4 schedule set in § 42-4-8: a first-time violator who pays or successfully contests within 14 days owes $50, rising to $100 if unpaid or uncontested past 14 days; fines double to $300 and $600 for a vehicle with a prior violation in the preceding year.
An owner has 14 days to pay or contest the notice before a hearing officer (§§ 42-4-7, 42-4-11, 42-4-12), and unpaid fines go into default 28 days after the notice issues under § 42-4-9.

Parking on a county roadway or shoulder overnight in violation of § 42-4-2-1 is a civil offense, not a criminal one.
