Snow Emergency Parking Rules in Saint Paul

A snow emergency in Saint Paul is a parking rule, not a road closure. Nobody is being told to stay off the streets — drivers are being told which side of which street to move off, and in what order, so the plows can reach the curb. A car left in the wrong place is ticketed and towed. That is the opposite of what the same two words mean in Ohio, where a level 3 closes the roads themselves.

Night plow routes, from 9 p.m. on the day it is declared

Parking is not allowed on streets marked with signs that say "NIGHT PLOW ROUTE" or "NIGHT PLOW ROUTE THIS SIDE OF STREET." These are plowed from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m..

Day plow routes, from 8 a.m. the day after

Parking is not allowed on Day Plow Routes — streets or sides of streets with no Night Plow Route signs — until the street is plowed to the curb. Day Plow Routes have no signs of their own, and are plowed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..

Quoted from the city's own parking rules at stpaul.gov, which is also where a declaration is posted; this page does not carry whether one is in force. How the phrase differs from Ohio's snow emergency levels.
