curious, i want to try to avoid getting plowed in post storm on Monday. this is probably a silly goal but i assume the plows first priority is to do the main roads.
i put my car on a side street that has a dead end. do plows do these streets (smaller dead end streets with only a few cars parked) as much as the main roads?
i first heard were getting 6-12 but a neighbor just told me they heard 12-18 for Monday
the best way not to get plowed in is to park on a one way street on the left hand side.
the plows push the snow to the right side, so on a one way on the right hand side you will get plowed in. On a 2 way street either side is the right side when driving so you will get plowed in as well.
the only time you do not get plowed in is on a one way street on the LEFT hand side.

It took me decades to figure this out.....
Wow, I never even thought about that (well I don't have a car!!) but that's fantastic advice!

If you have the opportunity put your car in a garage for the duration of the storm. I started doing that a few years ago and it is the best money I have ever spent. If you time it right you usually only need one night or two before you can take it out and start looking for a parking place.
my landlord was supposed to call me back about my paying $200 for a month up until April but they never did. they want me to have a parking lease for 12 months but its too much $$ so i guess they won't do it
i live on Broadway in between Lakeview Place and W 252 street
lakeview Place connects to the next street to the west, but 252 street is dead end and only has about 50% less spaces for parking than Lakeview does. Lakeview Pl and 252 are both 2 way streets
I have often seen plows turning around on 252 street. turning around on 252 would be tight for a plow but still doable
Another thing someone suggested to me one time (which I never tried) is to try to park your car under an elevated roadway or overpass. In Queens and Brooklyn it's pretty easy because there are numerous parking places that are underneath the BQE and the 7 train. You might try to look around on Google maps to see if there's a place like that near you.

Another good tip!

never thought of that. i have an overpass a block from me i parked there during Sandy. i will try it if there are no snow restrictions (that section i know does have some kind of restriction against parking for snow removal)
