City extends snow event until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, December 31, 2025

 A snow event was declared for 11:59 p.m. on Monday, December 29 based on credible weather forecast information. This snow event has now been extended until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, December 31. This helps ensure that staff operating plows and snow clearing equipment are able to effectively and efficiently clear snow from roadways across the city.  

During a snow event, the City's tag-and-tow process takes effect. During a snow event, residents are prohibited from parking their cars on city streets at any time, and overnight parking exemptions are cancelled to allow for snow clearing. The ticket for parking on the street during a snow event is $100.  Vehicles can also be towed if a snow operator is unable to get down a city street and contacts enforcement staff on patrol.      

During a snow event, the City activates its Getting Around online map, which shows the roads that have recently been serviced. This map is updated regularly beginning at the time the snow event goes into effect and for 24 hours after it has ended.
