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 vehicles in locations other than on the street before and during snow events
