Ahead of the forecasted Nor'Easter, Philadelphia has declared a Snow Emergency starting at 6 pm tonight. Residents who have cars parked along posted Snow Emergency routes will need to move their cars or else they will be ticketed and towed. Homeowners are reminded to clear a three foot wide path in front of their homes within 6 hours of the end of the snow. Throwing snow back into the streets could result in a fine. A number of PPA garages will be open for a flat rate of $5 starting at 5 pm Monday and ending 8 am Wednesday. You must bring your ticket to the PPA office at the garage to get the discount.
