Not to mention that the National Weather Service predicts a little snow Tuesday and Thursday for the Hoboken area. "The Department of Environmental Services will utilize the street cleaning period to remove snow from parking lanes to facilitate more parking availability," the city wrote. "Residents are asked to please move vehicles during street cleaning periods. Street cleaning is currently scheduled to resume for the full remainder of the week as well (Tuesday, February 9 through Friday, February 12)." But, the city noted, "The city will notify residents if that changes based on updated weather forecasts for the week."
