Hundreds of vehicles were towed in St. Paul and thousands more ticketed during this week’s snow emergency, according to city officials.

The snow emergency went into effect at 9 p.m. Monday on night-plow routes and lasted until all the snow was cleared off of day-plow routes Tuesday.

More than 1,300 citations were issued Monday night and early Tuesday morning, and an additional 1,137 were issued during the day phase on Tuesday for a total of 2,460 total citations, as of 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Nearly 300 of the 325 vehicles towed were brought to the Cathlin Street impound lot near St. Anthony Park. The remaining 27 vehicles were brought to Barge Channel Road lot, which serves southeast St. Paul.

The numbers were smaller than other snow emergencies in previous years. Last week, 492 cars were towed and 2,913 citations given, and there were 2,979 citations and 523 towed vehicles following a December 2016 storm.

“Keep in mind that with the deeper snow, it takes the tow companies additional time for each tow,” St. Paul Public Works Spokesperson Ellen Biales said in an email.

Snow emergency tickets cost $56. Restoring vehicles from the impound lot during snow emergencies costs $210 the first day and an additional $15 for each day the vehicle is left there.
