Whenever the Mayor or the Chief of Police, or other authorized city official finds that falling snow, sleet, or freezing rain will create a condition which makes it necessary that the parking of motor vehicles on streets located within the city be prohibited, or whenever he finds on the basis of a firm forecast of snow, sleet or freezing rain that the weather conditions so forecasted may create a condition making it necessary that the parking be prohibited, he is authorized to announce the prohibition, to become effective at a time specified by him. After the effective time of the prohibition no person shall park any vehicle or permit any vehicle to remain parked on any street located within the city. However, if a fall of snow, sleet, or freezing rain occurs after 11:00 p.m. and prior to 6:00 a.m., and the Mayor or Chief of Police, or other authorized city official has not announced prior to 11:00 p.m. that parking on streets located within the city is to be prohibited after a specified time, a vehicle parked on any street located within the city may remain so parked until 7:00 a.m. following the fall. The prohibition of parking announced by the Mayor or Chief of Police, or other authorized city official under the authority of this section shall remain in effect until he announces the termination of the snow emergency, in part or in which the prohibition of parking authorized by this section shall no longer be in effect.
