Snow Emergency Rules - am I crazy?

dreamsharkSo the city of Minneapolis has declared a Snow Emergency so they can plow the streets. This involves an intricate neighborhood car ballet - move your cars off the Snow Emergency Routes by 9 pm tonight, then over to the odd side of the street by tomorrow morning, then back to the even sides. Okay, that's fine. We are now being notified in multiple ways (phone, email, etc) but the notifications never include the parking rules. Instead they refer you to the website, the phone hotline or the snail mail brochure that was sent out earlier.
It is my recollection that the rules reverse themselves each year. One year they plow the even sides first, the next year they plow the odd sides first. My neighbor insists that they ALWAYS plow the even sides first, that they have been doing it this way for the entire 11 years he has lived in Minneapolis.
Long-time Minneapolitan residents - which version is true?
And is this just another variation on the increasingly perplexing philosophical question of our times - how do we know what is true?
