Yeah, but what's the "emergency" part? We have "snow routes" too and cars are supposed to be parked off the street when it snows a lot but we don't think it's an "emergency"!
headline from Star and Sickle:
"Snow blankets St.Paul,women and children hardest hit"
there. now it's an emergency.
I'm not sure why they call it an emergency.Obviously it give most people no sense of urgency to move their cars.
