There are more ways than ever to know if a snow emergency is in effect in St. Louis Park.

• For snow emergency information, call the Winter Parking Hotline at 952.924.2180 for a 24-hour recorded message.
• Sign up for the city’s ParkAlert citizen notification system.
• Use the MyStLouisPark app, which allows smartphone users to receive push notification alerts.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Three inches of snow or more will still be the guideline for removing vehicles off the street. Depending on available forecasts the city may declare a snow emergency in advance.
• As always, vehicles parked on a street during a snow emergency are subject to ticketing. If your vehicle remains on the streets 12 hours after it’s ticketed, it will be towed.
• The snow emergency will remain in effect until your street is plowed to the curb. As soon as your street is plowed to the curb, you may again park vehicles on the street.
