Snow Emergency?

Does any one know if a snow emergency was called today in Somerville?

Thank you!

There's not a snow emergency notice on the city Web site (look for small scrolling text at the very top), and the predicted snowfall is under four inches, so I'd say "no".

Last time we had a snow emergency, it was posted on the city website, http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/. I don't see any notification there today.

Also, after all the flack the city took after declaring the emergency for the eventually-nonexistant storm two weeks ago, I think they'll hold off for anything but a blizzard now.

Oh, no...see, this time, it's actually snowing.
Somerville only declares snow emergencies when there's no snow.

Yeah, I didn't see any notification on the website but they did say that the notices are available on radios and the TV which I don't have access to at work. I just didn't want to go out and find my car towed or ticketed. Thanks for everyone's help!

That's why just for the heck of it, I moved my car to the correct side of the street before I left today. I can't afford to be ticketed and towed, so I have to stay ahead of them. Usually, I just park on the odd side of the street all winter long, so I don't have to think about where my car is.

That's because Our Dear Mayor is very tricksy and likes to keep his constituents on their toes. I bet he'd call a snow emergency in July and enforce the tickets now that his benevolent "one-time reprieve" has been granted.

"We just said that four inches of snow needed to be predicted to justify a snow emergency---We didn't say where!!"

Very tricksy! Have you ever considered a career in city politics?

I wonder how many Somervillain LJers it would take to get hauntmeister elected . . .

the horror

then he'd be busy every weeknight going to town meetings, and spend enough of his weekends doing PR stuff that we'd never get to hang out with him anymore.

I actually did write in bester for mayor in the elections this last time, because I hated both candidates, and I thought he'd do a better job. :)

Good idea but it's hard enough to find parking around here for work.
