City of Bowling Green issued the following announcement on January 24.
Snow Streets are designated throughout the City. Designated snow streets are marked with blue and white signs. Any vehicle parked on a snow street must be removed within two hours after a Snow Emergency is declared. Snow Emergencies are typically called for when the City receives 2 inches (or more) of snow. Vehicles parked in violation of snow regulations are subject to towing at the owner's expense and/or a citation.
- If a Snow Emergency is Declared from 7 am to 9 pm, vehicles parked on a snow street must be removed within 2 hours after declaration.
- If a Snow Emergency is Declared from 9 pm to 7 am, vehicles parked on a snow street must be removed by 9 am.

When a snow emergency is declared, notification is sent out many different ways. Residents should monitor the local news and news papers and are encouraged to sign up for:
- eNews: email notification is sent through the City's weekly eNews distribution list; sign-up is free and easy
- Text Alerts: sign up for CodeRED alerts
- Social Media: follow the City's Facebook page and the City on Twitter; when a snow emergency is declared, notification will be posted to all platforms
Even if your street is not listed as a Snow Street, parking your vehicle off the street allows for a more efficient plowing process, helping crews remove the snow from the entire street curb to curb. This is especially important when the City is receiving many snow storms in succession.
