Concord has banned parking on city streets between midnight and 7 a.m. Saturday.
The city is projected to receive 8.5 inches of snow or more beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
“It’s gonna be that pasty, wet type of junk that will stick to everything,” said Tom Hawley, a meteorologist at the forecasting center in Gray, Maine. “So there are likely to be power outages.”
Drivers who rely on street parking can use city garages for free overnight, while the roads are required to be clear for plowing.
