A snow emergency is now in effect in Albany. It went into effect at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Cars should be parked on the even side of the street for the next 24 hours. The parking restriction clears the road for plows to come through to remove all the snow. Cars that were not moved to the even side of the street will be towed.

On Thursday night, cars should be parked on the odd side of the street.
