Snow emergency in effect in St. Paul beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday
The city of St. Paul has declared a snow emergency beginning at 9 p.m. Saturday and lasting through 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12.
By 12:15 p.m. Saturday, 5.3 inches of snow had been recorded at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport.
Under the snow emergency guidelines, beginning at that time, vehicles parked on night plow routes will be ticketed and towed.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday, all day plow routes will be plowed and vehicles that remain parked on those routes will be ticketed and towed.
All of downtown St. Paul is considered a night plow route along with all streets that have signs posted indicating they are a night plow route.
Day plow routes are not marked by signs. However, if there is not a night plow route sign posted on that street then it should be considered a day plow route.
In addition, city officials say to avoid getting ticketed or towed, people should avoid parking on streets that are not plowed to the curb or park in areas that have 'no parking' signs.
For residents in two parking test areas of Highland Park and Payne-Phalen, the following parking rules should be observed:
Weekly Alternate Side Parking Pilot Areas ONLY: Sunday Changeover Reminder
On Saturday, Feb. 8, all cars should remain on the even address side of the street.
On the Sunday, Feb. 9 changeover day, starting at 3 p.m. and going to 9 p.m., all cars should be moved to the odd address side of the street. They can remain there all week.

Hazardous morning commute in Twin Cities after overnight snow
A spring snowstorm that blanketed parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin overnight has caused poor road conditions, leading to crashes and slowdowns across the region. WCCO has issued a NEXT Drive Alert due to the conditions, which will affect the morning commute. A NEXT Weather Alert is also in place. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, as of 5:55 a.m. most Twin Cities roads were completely covered. Many roads in southwestern Minnesota are closed, and travel is not advised in most of south central Minnesota. Roads are partially covered in central Minnesota, while the northern part of the state is mostly clear. MnDOT also reported at least two dozen crashes and spinouts in the metro alone. In Inver Grove Heights, a Minnesota State Patrol trooper's vehicle was hit. MnDOT said the trooper is OK. Metro Transit has suspended all bus service due to road conditions, as has the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority. The snow should start to slow by the morning commute, then wrap up around mid-morning. The snowstorm also caused hundreds of school closures and delays, including a full closure for the Anoka-Hennepin Public School District and virtual learning days for Minneapolis and St. Paul.
