Baltimore has street-cleaning fines year-round? Wow. In Pittsburgh they suspend it for December through March, because we all know they aren't going to clean then anyway.
There ought to be some government office you can call to find out if there's a snow emergency. I'd call the mayor's office (or my council representative, if you have those) and ask whom to call in such situations. At least nominally they're supposed to serve their constituents, after all.
Yup, the parking restrictions and the fines continue year-round, even through the time when we know we're not going to see the street-cleaner for a couple of months straight. :-(
(I think they might clean the streets in some of the wealthier neighbourhoods in the middle of winter, when weather permits. I'm not sure.)
