Answer 1

The only ones weatherwise that you really have to look out for are the overnight parking ones (starting Dec. 1st-No Parking 3am-7am, I think they say) on certain routes, like Foster--they're not big signs and only one is needed on each block, so watch out.  The ones that say "No Parking if 2 (or 3?) inches" of snow very rarely get written...that's only done if an order comes out to do it, which I don't recall any in recent times.  If possible I would avoid main streets if possible anyway if alot of snow is predicted...just with the ice the plows throw up at the cars.

Answer 2

It probably means that you'd better not be parked there when the snowplows come through.

Answer 3

No. I am in SW subrurbs and lived downtown for college.
