A snowy forecast and a declared snow emergency are different things. Check the city’s current status before parking.

Some winter restrictions apply from December 1 to March 1. A declared snow emergency brings additional restrictions, including an earlier start to overnight rules. Posted and unposted restrictions can both apply.
