Snow is coming to Massachusetts Sunday, and for many cities and towns, that means parking bans will be in effect.
A winter storm is expected to drop between 4 and 8 inches of snow on Boston, and even more on a swath of the state, and New Hampshire, further inland.

When parking bans are in effect, drivers can't park their cars on certain streets, so that snow plows can effectively clear them.
Several communities, including Worcester, Framingham and Everett, have declared parking bans for a snow emergency on Sunday and/or Monday. Follow the links below for details from the communities themselves:

Boston hasn't issued a snow emergency or parking ban, but Mayor Michelle Wu did share reminders about clearing snow from sidewalks while issuing a cold weather advisory for Tuesday to Thursday, when bitter cold will settle over New England.
"Our teams are working around the clock to prepare the city, and we advise our residents to help protect each other during these harsh conditions. With snow expected tonight, we are reminding property owners to please remember to shovel sidewalks, especially before the bitterly cold weather arrives and snow freezes over," Wu said in a statement.
Ahead of the storm, Gov. Maura Healey urged all residents to be prepared both for the snow and the polar vortex-driven bitter cold that's expected to follow.
"We advise you to use extra care on the roads Sunday into Monday morning and take the time to check in on your neighbors to make sure everyone stays warm and safe," Healey said in a statement.
The state also warned residents to, among other things, check smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
