Listed Minneapolis in snow emergency, which was correct, but not when St. Paul was in one, and I along with everyone on the street received tickets….. Just go to the St. Paul website and get ACCURATE information about snow emergencies ### 1/5 — INACCURATE!!! *2025-12-30* do yourself a favor and just bookmark the city pages with snow emergency info/updates. At the time of posting this, St Paul had an ACTIVE snow emergency, but the app indicated no such emergency. ### 2/5 — Hits and misses *2025-12-30* Like the simple graphics. Dislike that it is often wrong on whether there is a snow emergency or not. ### 4/5 — Here comes the snow *2025-12-05* This app is very understandable, clear and to the point plowing snow ### 5/5 — Perfecto!!! *2025-02-08* Great information & guideline to updated. ### 4/5 — Not working 12/24 *2024-12-20, version 2.3* It appears the app is no longer updating snow emergency info, at least in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN as of 12/19/24. ### 1/5 — Junk app *2024-12-19* Dont bother. If it show a snow emergency declared and that’s a big IF. It gets the parking alternatives completely wrong ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to be updating any more *2024-12-19* There is currently a snow emergency in both Minneapolis and St Paul but neither are showing up in the app. ### 5/5 — One of the most useful apps *2023-01-06* A heavy snow adds a lot of items to my to-do list. This app eliminates the most frustrating items from the list. It reminds you to move your car when the snowplows come and tells you where you are you can park to avoid getting towed. When the snow emergency is lifted, the app stays out of your way until next time. It's simple, elegant, well-designed, and thoughtfully made. You can't really ask for more than that. ### 2/5 — Not super helpful *2022-01-06* I appreciate the purpose of this app, but it’s a little hard to easily conceptualize. I think it would be helpful to include a map (like the one found on the city website) to we can be better informed on where we can/cannot park. Also yes, the cars are reversed. ## Frequently asked questions about Snow Alerts ### What does this app do? This app helps you avoid parking tickets during snow emergencies.
