Not every city experiences the same logistical problems, and for a snowy city, I think it&#x27;s quite reasonable to penalize people for parking in snow emergency routes. If Washington DC were such a place that didn&#x27;t historically snow, I would sympathize with the fined.<p>The needs of some city residents to travel for weeks or months without thinking about where they are parked don&#x27;t outweigh the needs of a snowy city to have emergency snow travel routes.<p>If you wanted to park some place and hope that it doesn&#x27;t snow, that&#x27;s both your loss <i>and</i> gain.
