Vehicles left on the streets or in public parking lots during snow emergencies may be ticketed and towed.
If a snow emergency is declared in Hopkins during the afternoon or early evening, tagging and towing enforcement generally begins at 9 p.m. However, depending on the snow fall, tagging and towing could begin earlier. The Snow Line, 952-939-1399, will have the actual time. When a snow emergency is declared after 9 p.m., tagging and towing operations begin at 8 a.m. on the following day.
