Non-permit parking on Broadway?

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

The closest non-permit parking to my place (near Powder House Circle) is on Broadway, but I heard from someone that last night they were towing every car on the street. Is this something to do with the snow emergency, or just an overnight-parking thing? In short, can anyone confirm or deny that it's safe to park on Broadway during the day?

In Somerville, there's no parking allowed on major arteries during a snow emergency. You should be able to tell from their website (http://www.somervillema.gov/) whether the snow emergency is still in effect. You can tell whether a street is a "major artery" because it'll have a sign -- iirc, a squarish white sign with red lettering, mounted fairly high up on phone poles, saying "No Parking During Snow Emergencies."
