City declares snow emergency
The city of Janesville has declared a snow emergency for Tuesday beginning at midnight.
That means all vehicles must be removed from city streets and public parking lots until snow plowing operations are complete. To avoid getting a ticket, move your vehicle before 12:00 a.m. and keep it off city streets until they have been plowed.
The best place to park during a snow emergency is in your garage or driveway. If you are unable to park in a driveway or garage, park in one of the designated snow emergency parking stalls.
The stalls are located in the: East Wall Street lot at East Wall Street and North Parker Drive; the Municipal Building lot at West Wall Street and North Jackson Street; the South High Street lot at West Court Street and South High Street; the Senior Center Lot at St. Lawrence Avenue and Water Street; the Hedberg Public Library lot on Water Street; and the River/Union Street lot at South River Street and Union Street.
Look for the signs designating the snow emergency parking stalls.
Fines for parking on the streets during a snow emergency are $20.
The police department may begin issuing tickets to violators before plowing operations begin.

Stacey Maybe they should have put it in the sports section too and made it made even more difficult to find.

Look at the heading (in the "Extra") under "some schools closing early.. It Clearly states that the snow emergency goes into effect @ 12:00am Tuesday morning. (that was posted at 1:35 pm )..

Way to go city of Janesville. Declare a snow emergency and give the city 2 hours and 18 mins. to react. How about telling people before they GO TO BED!!! OH wait the Winter Storm Warning has been canceled too. Seems weathermen have no idea what going on either.
