St. Paul snow emergency
Local perspective:
St. Paul city officials say night plow routes will begin at 9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30, which will include all streets with signs posted “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE” and “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE THIS SIDE OF STREET.”
Any vehicles not moved from a night plow route by 9 p.m. will be ticketed and towed.
Starting Monday, Dec. 1, all crews will work on “DAY PLOW ROUTES”, which are not marked by signs. If there are no “Night Plow” signs posted within the block, it is considered a day plow route.
Vehicles that are not moved from Day Plow Routes by 8 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, will be ticketed and towed.
The snow emergency is set to last 96 hours, or until Dec. 4, 2025 at 9 p.m.
Do not park in areas where streets are not plowed to the curb, and remember to follow posted street signs.
