SHOVELING DEADLINE 4:30 pm today, Sun. 2/9. Don't worry, this photo is from the 2015 Snowpocalypse--this storm was nowhere near as bad. But DPW is still out clearing. So the emergency is still in effect. We'll post as soon as it lifts. Anyone else have good pics from 2015?
SNOW EMERGENCY 2/8/24
Based on current weather forecasts, the City is declaring a snow emergency to go into effect at 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 8. Beginning at 5 p.m., cars will have 4 hours (until 9 p.m.) to move to the EVEN side of the street. 🧵
Any exceptions will be noted by nearby signs. City parking lots are available for snow emergency parking. Parking is not allowed in school lots during snow emergencies & gates will be locked.
To avoid having your vehicle locked in a school lot, ticketed, and towed, vacate all school lots before 9 p.m. on February 8. For more information, please call 311. For the full announcement, visit: bit.ly/42TiskO

We will continue to feel the winter cold over the coming days, with below-average temperatures most days plus winds that can make it feel even colder.
