Due to heavy snowfall, St. Cloud is in a state of emergency.

The mayor’s office says St. Cloud is expected to receive at least six inches of snow. As a result, the National Weather Service has declared a snow emergency, which will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday morning.

St. Cloud parking regulations will be heavily enforced. As soon as the snow emergency begins, illegally-parked cars will be towed.
