Unlike some of its neighbors, Boston doesn't think tonight's snowstorm warrants an emergency declaration, so just use common sense, clear your sidewalk and remember that, even if you don't live in the South End, you can't just save that parking space you shoveled out. At least, not legally.

The bst space saver...

...is your car. Every car that is parked is one less obstacle and one less annoyance for everyone else.
Think of how great Boston would be with zero traffic.
Huh?

Parked cars are huge annoying obstacles. Sight hazards. Obstacles to crossing the street. Reasons sidewalks are not as wide as they should be. Space where benches or trees could be. Dooring hazards.
And just plain ugly, most of them.
At least some consistency

To Boston's credit they’re not in the wuss list of shame of schools which canceled on Thursday for 2” of snow that fell during school hours and now they’re not declaring a snow emergency for 6” of light snow falling in the overnight hours Saturday night into Sunday (the absolute easiest time for snow to fall).
Good on them for that, and shame on everyone who overreacted to last week. Maybe Boston learned their lesson after last February’s cancel two days out for a storm that went way south and left an inch of slush on grass.
I give a pass to snow closings now

My dentist's office said they were planning to close early last Thursday
I was ready to grumble about "back in the day" then thought about how absolutely shitty Boston drivers are in perfect weather.
Life is short and precious. And school and most other things can wait a day..

BPS will be towing before, during and after the storm. Stay out of the school parking lots!

There will be no bans on parking along snow emergency arteries.
in other words, the bus lanes along Washington Street in Roslindale will be worthless come Monday.
Space savers are never legal.

Space savers are never legal. The mayor’s informal declaration is not the law.
This isn’t a law

but a made up rule by the Mayor who’s no longer walking on this earth. Nobody pays attention to this.
