The largest snowstorm in a number of years is forecast for Quincy this weekend. Snow emergency parking rules will be in place in neighborhoods beginning the night before the storm is expected -- 6:00 p.m. Saturday, January 24, 2026 -- to assist in preparations and facilitate adherence to parking rules.

Trash collection is postponed on Monday, January 26, and will follow a citywide one-day delay for the rest of the week similar to a holiday schedule.

Residents may park on the ODD numbered side of non-emergency neighborhood streets keeping 20 feet from intersections, but should always park in driveways if available. Parking is prohibited on all designated emergency arteries, although enforcement in business districts will be limited until Sunday evening. Residents on side streets posted permanently as one-side parking should park on the side always allowed.

Cars parked in violation of emergency rules or impede snow plowing operations pose a public safety risk, and WILL BE TOWED. Regardless of parking rules, vehicles determined to be in obstruction of snow removal or emergency vehicles are subject to towing if not moved.
