Both Minneapolis and St. Paul are under a Snow Emergency, and that means there are place you can't park. This is Day 2 in both cities. To avoid a tow and a hefty fine, here are the rules in place as of 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Minneapolis

Do not park on the EVEN side of non-Snow Emergency routes. (Example: house address number: 1356 Maple or 2512 17th Ave.)

Do not park on either side of parkways.

Park on the odd side of non-Snow Emergency Route streets (example: house address number 1359 Maple or 2513 17th Ave.).

Park on either side of streets with the red sign: Snow Emergency Route.

After a street is fully plowed, feel free to park there, even if Snow Emergency parking rules are still in effect. Fully plowed means the street is completely cleared and plowed as wide as possible. Plows may come through more than once, so make sure that it is fully plowed as wide as possible before parking.

St. Paul

Beginning at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, all DAY PLOW ROUTES will be plowed. If the street is not marked as a "Night Plow Route," it is considered a Day Plow Route.

Vehicles that are not moved from Day Plow Routes by 8 a.m. Wednesday, 12/30/15, will be ticketed and towed.

Parking is banned until streets are plowed full width.
