Hmm, anyone know if they allow parking on the even side of Kidder Ave during a snow emergency? The odd side NEVER allows parking, and I see the even side completely full of cars right now.

I'm virtually positive that if one side never allows parking, the other side is to be used in a snow emergency regardless of whether it is odd or even. This makes sense, as the plow will just go from Willow towards College Ave. instead of the other way.

Though park on Kidder at your own risk when there's snow and ice. I've come over that hill once to many times only to realize there was a frozen sheet of ice on the other.

Just to be safe I moved my car. Thankfully my landlord let me park in the driveway tonight.
