Snow Emergency Information
A snow emergency may include significant snow fall of more than 4”, severe drifting and/or freezing rain. City
officials will declare a snow emergency by 4:00 p.m. Snow emergencies start at 12:00 midnight and end at
7:00 a.m. During this time there is no parking allowed on streets and alleyways. A follow-up snow
emergency may be declared, depending on conditions, so be sure to check to see if snow emergencies are in
effect on consecutive days. During a snow emergency, police officers are authorized to have a motor vehicle
parked in violation of the ordinance removed at the owner’s expense. If you are unsure, regularly park vehi-
cles in locations other than on the street before and during snow events, until all streets are fully plowed.
Existing, posted parking restrictions remain in effect and will be enforced.
