New Brighton uses two different snowfall numbers for two different rules, and they are one inch apart. Confusing them is the easiest mistake to make here.
Plows deploy at 2 inches or more — roughly twelve times a year — and each district takes 8 to 10 hours. But the parking prohibition under Section 29-32 starts at 3 inches. Both figures appear on the same official page and both are correct; they are simply different thresholds for different things.
Vehicles plowed in receive tickets, and cars not removed face towing. There is also a de facto overnight ban through the general limits in Sections 29-20 and 29-21: 6 hours between 5 a.m. and 2 a.m., and just 30 minutes between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. — year-round.
So the practical answer is that overnight street parking is effectively impossible here, but the mechanism is a 30-minute limit rather than a stated ban.
New Brighton clears roughly 24.2 miles of sidewalk within 8 hours of a 2-inch or greater snowfall, with school areas done before school opens. No property-owner duty, deadline or fine is published.
On mailboxes the distinction is published: USPS-compliant boxes physically hit by the plow are repaired by the city; boxes downed by snow force are the owner's responsibility.
On snow in the street the city is blunt and uncited: “Do NOT blow snow in the street. This is against the law.” No chapter or statute is named — though Minn. Stat. § 169.42 applies statewide regardless.
