On Tuesday afternoon, the City of Kitchener declared a snow event because of the impending weather system.

During a snow event, the city's tag-and-tow process takes effect. The ticket for parking on the street during a snow event is $100. Vehicles can also be towed if a snow plow operator is unable to get down a city street.
