St. Paul Snow Emergency Info

From the City of St. Paul:

Looking for general information about snow emergencies? Visit our webpage at www.stpaul.gov/snow.

And if you’re ever in doubt about a snow emergency declaration and don’t have access to email or a cellular device, call our Snow Emergency hotline at (651)-266-PLOW (7569). 

If you want to be informed of snow emergencies via email, sign up in 1-click to our SnowAlert notice system.

Remember, at the SnowAlerts page you can also request a text message notifying you when a snow emergency is declared. Opting for the text message will not affect your email subscription.

Also, please pass the word about snow preparedness to your friends, neighbors and co-workers – even if they don’t live in Saint Paul, it never hurts to know when the snow emergency parking regulations are in force.

If you know someone who’s new to Saint Paul such as a new resident or a student, suggest to them that now is a good time to find a parking place to move a vehicle to when the snow emergency parking regulations are activated. 

One last note about snow plowing under snow emergency rules. Although the system’s night and day phase plowing schedule remains the same (Night phase plowing begins at 9:00 p.m. and day phase plowing begins the following day, typically at 8:00 a.m.), the city occasionally adjusts the plowing routes for improved efficiencies. 

This won’t affect having to move your vehicle, but it may mean the plow will appear at a different time than in the past. Parking on a street is permitted once the street has been plowed full width from curb to curb.
