By Jon Brockman | Feb. 12, 2019

Following a night that brought more than half a foot of snow to Madison, the city declared a snow emergency Tuesday in anticipation of more accumulation and anticipated plowing difficulties.  The snow emergency, Madison’s second in the past two weeks, will remain in effect until at least Thursday morning as plowing crews continue to clear the streets. To make plowing easier, all cars parked on the street overnight will have to move to the odd-numbered side or run the risk of receiving a ticket or being towed.
