Tonight Minot ND is getting hit by our 2nd winter storm of the year and also the 2nd storm with-in a week.Less than
a week ago we received about 20 inches of some very heavy snow. It was back breaking to shovel and the City Street Department still has not completely caught up. It's very hard for them to do their job when cars are parked in the street and it's vary hard for those same cars to get out of the street when they get buried by both the 20" of snow and then the hard bank of snow surrounding the car that the plow left from going around it. 
My simple tip is that if you can possibly park off street during a winter storm warning do so. Whether you can park off street of not it's also a good idea to be sure your car is NOT facing into the wind. Tonight's storm is reported to have winds of 30 miles per hour and gusts past 40 miles per hour. That kind of wind will pack snow under your hood so tight when you open your hood you won't even see your engine (which will also be packed with snow inside the engine).
