Summary
When the Mosinee police chief declares a snow emergency through the news media, parking is banned on every city street from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. the next morning for the duration. Separately, once the police or public works department posts temporary 'No Parking, Street Maintenance Work' signs, vehicles must clear the area within one hour or be in violation.
(a)A snow emergency shall be declared by the chief of police by giving notice to the news media.(b)During the period of such snow emergency no person shall park or leave standing any vehicle upon any highway or street in the city from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. ... (a)No person shall park, place or leave standing any automobile, truck or other vehicle on any street or public way after one hour from the time such area has been designated and marked with signs or barriers by the police department and/or the public works director indicating no parking due to snow removal.
Full Breakdown
the following day for as long as the emergency lasts. Section 78-147 covers routine snow-clearing and street repair outside a declared emergency: the police department and public works director may post an area with signs or barriers reading 'No Parking - Street Maintenance Work,' and drivers get one hour from the time the signs go up to move their vehicles before parking there becomes unlawful. When the work is planned maintenance rather than an emergency plow, the signs must be erected at least two hours before the work begins, giving residents advance notice to relocate their cars.
Both rules exist on top of, not instead of, the Code's other parking restrictions, including the seasonal November-to-April overnight ban in section 78-132 and the 24-hour limit in section 78-101, so a vehicle can run afoul of more than one provision on the same winter night.
Violations & Fines
Violating either the declared snow-emergency ban or a posted street-maintenance no-parking sign is prosecuted under the Code's general penalty, section 1-13, carrying a $25.00 to $500.00 forfeiture for a first offense and $50.00 to $1,000.00 for a repeat offense within a year, plus costs of prosecution. Vehicles blocking plowing or maintenance operations may also be towed and stored at the owner's expense.
