Mayor Robert Rock declares a snow emergency as trucks rove emergency routes, snow plows clear downtown streets, and police urge residents to stay off roads unless necessary. City departments coordinate with private firms to remove snow from main thoroughfares, hospitals, and fire stations, while salt use is deemed impractical due to cost.
