Alternate side parking suspensions: Holidays, weather events that save you from moving your car

Alternate side parking: Those three words are enough to send a shudder down the spine of any New Yorker who dares to keep a car in the city.

You know the drill: You wake up three hours early and circle your neighborhood’s streets like a vulture in search of a spot, only to end up parking somewhere that will land you a $45 ticket anyway. “Should have moved the car after work,” you mutter to yourself. “Should have sold my car five years ago,” you whisper to no one in particular.

But there’s an occasional light at the end of the proverbial tunnel — a few days over the course of the year when the pesky alternate side parking regulations are suspended and you can park wherever you please. For non-city dwellers, holidays may be a time to gather with loved ones, but here in NYC, holidays carry a greater significance — not having to find a new parking spot.

Then there’s the occasional, horrible snowstorm that puts a damper on virtually all aspects of your life but one: parking.

Here’s when you won’t have to move your car:
