— Third-shift Janesville police officers issued 125 snow emergency parking tickets as of 5 a.m. Friday.

“We’re right on pace with the last snowfall,” said Sgt. Aaron Ellis.

Second-shift officers also issued a few such tickets Thursday and police believe many more tickets will be written Friday.

“Once plowing starts on residential streets, we’ll find a lot more cars they plowed around,” Ellis said.

The City of Janesville declared a snow emergency starting at 6 p.m. Thursday.

A snow emergency means all parked vehicles must be removed from city streets and public parking lots until snowplowing operations are complete.
