Are you hosting relatives this Thanksgiving? If you live in Minneapolis or St. Paul, you might have to give them a heads up on where to park. That’s because both cities have declared snow emergencies.

Beginning at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2019, all night plow routes will be plowed. 

Beginning at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019, all day plow routes will be plowed. 

The city also says to always follow all posted street signs. Do not park vehicles where signs indicate "No Parking." A snow emergency lasts 96 hours, or until December 1, 2019 at 9 p.m. To avoid a ticket or tow, do not park in areas where streets are not plowed to the curb.

Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2019 is day one —  9 p.m. to 8 a.m. (overnight)

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.

Thursday, Nov. 28, 2019 is day two — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Again, 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.

Friday, Nov. 29, 2019 is day three — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

At 8 a.m., day three parking rules begin.
