When do they announce Alt Side of the Street suspensions?

With the weather coming in this afternoon, I REALLY don't want to have to move my car this evening since it is parked in a Friday spot.

I signed up for the Alt Side of the Street parking update through NYC.gov, but didn't know when they usually announced it. I just signed up this morning.

Thanks

Is there supposed to be an accumulation? I was under the impression that it was basically going to be a wet snow and nothing really on the ground.

Besides, if last year is any indication, they won't cancel it until really late tonight or tomorrow morning.

funny, i was thinking the same thing this morning...amazing how life revolves around parking.

Does anyone know why there was no alternate today? I just called 311 and so far, no alternate today, but alternate tomorrow.

They already cancelled today, I am guessing on the fear of snow, so hoping they cancel tomorrow.

Here is a helpful link from DOT

Yeah, DOT sent out an email last night about cancelling today, in anticipation of Weather.
They don't always do that -- it's often down to the wire when snow is involved.

If you go to NYC.gov, alternate side parking is in effect for tomorrow. When did you receive this email?

Just noticed you said "last night" whoops!

Listen to 1010wins or 880 in the morning, they announce it on a regular basis when they do traffic, whether it is suspended or not.

Subject: alternate side parking

1010 wins is also very prompt in posting, check their website though, usualy has it before they announce it on air
