(a) That new snowfall has accumulated to a depth of one-half inch or more; or
(b) If snow removal operations have been commenced by the city. If the snow has been removed or plowed from said street, alley or parking area and the snow has ceased to fall, the prohibition on parking contained in this section shall no longer be effective
