Wisconsin Braces for Weekend Snow Chaos

Southern Wisconsin is in for a snowy weekend, with many towns and cities calling for snow emergencies. This means no parking on streets, so people need to find other spots for their cars. In Beloit, the snow emergency starts Saturday afternoon and ends Sunday noon. If you leave your car on the street, it might get a ticket or even towed. The city has set up special parking lots for this. They also remind everyone to take trash cans off the streets and only go out if it's really necessary. Blue Mounds, Evansville, and Lodi have also declared snow emergencies. In Lodi, you can't park on streets or alleys, but downtown businesses are okay. Plus, you have to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after the snow stops. McFarland's snow emergency starts Friday night and ends Sunday morning. If you park on the street, your car might get a ticket or towed. There are some public lots you can use instead. Monona's snow emergency starts Saturday morning and ends Sunday morning. Some streets allow parking, but others don't. If you park where you're not supposed to, your car might get a ticket or towed. The city suggests using park parking lots during the emergency. Janesville's winter weather emergency starts very early Saturday morning. All cars must be off the streets until Monday morning. The city will plow main roads first, then other streets. If you leave your car on the street, you might get a $50 ticket. The best place to park is in your garage or driveway. If you can't do that, use a municipal parking lot. Stoughton's snow emergency starts Saturday midnight and ends Wednesday morning. Parking is even/odd during this time. Sun Prairie's snow emergency starts Saturday morning and ends Sunday noon. No parking on streets, but you can use municipal lots and Merchant Square.
