The snow emergency has been lifted, allowing parking on snow emergency routes. However, concerns arise over freezing streets as below-freezing temperatures set in overnight.
The snow emergency was lifted at 7 p.m., which means that you can resume parking on snow emergency routes. The Streets Department says it has treated 75% of the city's roads, but with below-freezing temperatures setting in overnight, there are concerns that wet and unplowed streets could freeze over. "We are nowhere near done. The winter storm is here and the roads that are drivable now are going to become undriveable this evening.
Things that are bad now may get worse as we head towards the nightfall," said Mayor Cherelle Parker during an afternoon news conference.It didn't take long for the already snowy and icy roads to once again blanket with snow Friday. The notoriously difficult to navigate streets were made even more tricky to maneuver thanks to the latest round of snowfall."Actually my street comes up hill, so encourage people to stop, stop, stop, turn around, go on even roads because up hill you're never going to make it," said Clayton Brothers, from Roxborough.Temperatures overnight will drop into the teens so any slush will freeze solid overnigh
