Currently there is not a Snow Emergency in effect in the City of Minneapolis.  There are no Winter Parking Restrictions, and normal parking rules apply.

 

If this should change, the web site will be updated.

Snow Emergencies are called after significant snowfall and before 6 p.m. on any given day.

During a Snow Emergency, special parking rules go into effect that allow City crews to plow streets and emergency vehicles to travel safely.

Vehicles in violation of these parking rules will be tagged and/or towed to the Minneapolis Impound Lot
