Got this e-mail tonight. I guess Jackie Rossetti is the new Tom Champion:

Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti from the City of Somerville with snow alert information for Wednesday, December February 10th. Based on current weather projections, the City will be declaring a snow emergency effective at 6 a.m. Wednesday morning. During snow emergencies, parking is allowed on the odd-numbered side of the street only (unless otherwise posted). Cars not moved from the even numbered side of the street by 10 a.m. tomorrow morning may be subject to ticketing and towing. Residents unable to find a parking space on the odd-numbered side of the street may park in any municipal lot or in designated school parking lots. Please also note that Somerville Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, and all afternoon and evening activities will be canceled. For additional information, please call the city’s 311 constituent service line or visit our website at www.somervillema.gov.

I'm hanging with Tom in the Theatre@First green room at the dress rehearsal for Dracula (plug, plug) and he urges you all to go easy on Jackie. :)

Wait, but Jackie's been the alterna-Tom for many months. It's not just since he signed off recently.

Hey, Jackie was Tom even before Tom was Tom.

No, Tom came before Jackie.

If they make the announcement at 7 pm Tuesday, and you have to move your car by 10 am Wednesday, how exactly is the snow emergency effective at 6 am Wednesday?

The official rules say that you have four hours after the start of the snow emergency before being subject to being ticketed. I expect that originally, snow emergencies were declared Now rather than in the future, but the four hours grace between the official start and the ticketing start is still there. (Of course, I did still get a ticket for it last time, and I don't know yet whether they accepted my appeal...)

Prolly they wanted it decided so they could effing go home for the night.

IMO they should change the procdedure to remove the "official" start time which doesn't mean much, and just have a rule that the announcement has to come at least 4 hours before you have to move your car.

There's also the time when you're allowed to start parking in city lots, in this case 6 pm Tuesday.
