Overview
- St. Paul will begin night plow routes at 9 p.m. Thursday with day plow routes at 8 a.m. Friday, and the emergency remains in effect until 9 p.m. Monday.
- Vehicles parked in violation of St. Paul rules will be ticketed and towed, with the city’s January towing pause suspended for the emergency.
- Council Bluffs’ snow emergency parking ban runs from 7 p.m. Thursday to 7 p.m. Friday on signed Emergency Snow Routes, with fines or towing for violations.
- The measures follow the season’s heaviest snowfall in the Twin Cities, including 7.6 inches measured at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport.
- Minneapolis had not declared a snow emergency at last report, and St. Paul reminded residents to clear sidewalks within 24 hours without pushing snow into streets.
