WALTHAM, MA — As yet another snow storm bears down on us, police announced a snow emergency and parking ban will begin tonight at midnight. Move your cars and don't let those snow shovels get too far.

The parking ban will begin Saturday at 12 a.m. During the ban, cars are not permitted to park on street - any car that is parked on the street after midnight could risk ticketing and towing.

Drivers can park cars in municipal and school parking lots. Cars must be removed from school parking lots within two hours of the parking ban being lifted or your cars will be towed, even on the weekend.

You have 24 hours to remove cars from municipal lots from the end of the parking ban

A Winter Weather advisory will be in effect from 1 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. During that time, the National Weather Service said we can expect 3-6 inches of snow.

Waltham's Tick-Tock Trolley will not be running on Saturday night, either. But watch for regular hours next week.
