There's never enough parking in Chicago anyway, but after it snows the situation gets much worse. This leads to the annoying (although slightly understandable) practice of people "saving" spots they've shoveled clear with crappy lawn chairs or milk crates.
Before moving to Chicago, Tom lived in Minneapolis for several years. I asked him if this happened there as well. It doesn't. After a heavy snow, on day one the main roads get plowed. On day two they plow the odd numbered side of the streets and on day three they plow the even numbered side.
"The bad part is, after it snows, 50% of the parking disappers for two days, but it's not as hard to find parking there as here. I think I prefer that smaller size of city."
I still haven't dug my car out since the first snow. Maybe I'll leave it there until spring.
remember garages?

In Lethbridge, I think the city will plow after the hard pack snow gets to about 10 or 15 cm deep. And then, all they do is break it up and squish a huge pile into the middle of the road.
It will melt...eventually.
