From the city's website:



PARKING, TICKETING AND TOWING RULES DURING A SNOW EMERGENCY

*
Parking is allowed on the odd-numbered side of the street only during a snow emergency, unless otherwise posted. Residents with cars on the even side of the street must either move their cars to the odd side or, if they cannot find a space, move to another location (available city lots are listed below.)
*
Ticketing of cars parked on the even-numbered side of the street will commence on all streets four hours after the emergency is declared.
*
Towing of cars parked on the even-numbered side of the street will also commence four hours after the emergency is declared.
*
Again, it is strongly advised that residents move their cars as soon as an emergency is declared to avoid any confusion about timelines.

OFF-STREET PARKING LOTS OPEN DURING SNOW EMERGENCY

*
Residents may park in the designated areas listed below during a snow emergency.
*
Once the snow emergency is lifted, vehicles must be removed within two hours.

PARKING, TICKETING AND TOWING RULES AFTER A SNOW EMERGENCY

*
Permit parking enforcement will resume twenty-four hours after the snow emergency has been lifted. It is the responsibility of the resident to clean off their vehicle and ensure their Residential or Visitor parking permit is visible. Parking Control Officers are not authorized to remove snow from any vehicle. If the permit is not visible the vehicle WILL be ticketed for Permit Parking Violation.
*
City Ordinance restricts any vehicle from remaining in the same space on any street for a period exceeding 48 hours. This violation will be strictly enforced on both the odd and even sides of the street 48 hours after the snow emergency has been lifted. Failure to comply will result in the ticketing and potential towing of the vehicle.
