That means vehicles must be off all municipal streets between 1 and 6 a.m.
In addition to the parking ban, the city is reminding residents that they can be ticketed or towed at any time if they are parked in a way that interferes with snow clearing.

City officials say winter operations crews will be applying salt and sand to roads and sidewalks in anticipation of deep freezing temperatures overnight Thursday and into Friday.
