ST. CLOUD -- It won't be long until the snow falls. That means it's time to remind you of winter parking restrictions in the St. Cloud area. Starting early Thursday, St. Cloud’s winter parking restrictions go into effect. It also marks the start of winter parking restrictions for the surrounding cities too.

Much of St. Cloud is covered by odd-even parking restrictions. That means between 1:00 a.m.-7:00 a.m. on odd-numbered days, you must park on the even side of the street. On even numbered days, you must park on the odd side of the street again…between 1:00-7:00. So, if you park your car before midnight, leave it on the odd side during odd days and on the even side during even days. That way when 1:00 a.m. arrives you are correctly parked. Remember, the sides of the street are determined by whether the house numbers are odd or even.
