The snow emergency runs from noon Saturday, January 24, through noon Monday, January 26. Vehicles parked on designated snow emergency routes during that time are subject to towing to allow crews to clear roads safely. A full list of affected streets is posted on the city’s website.

The snow emergency goes into effect at noon Saturday and restricts parking on designated snow emergency routes across the city through Monday at noon. Officials said the action aligns with the Governor of Virginia’s declared state of emergency and is intended to allow crews to clear roads safely. An announcement will be issued when restrictions are lifted.

Manassas Regional Airport is highlighting new and upgraded snow removal equipment as the region prepares for winter weather. Airport officials say the fleet includes a new front-end loader for clearing ramps and loading snow, along with snow brooms, blowers, and a recently acquired Oshkosh plow truck to keep runways and taxiways clear during snow and ice.
The airport says its large snow blower can move tons of snow per hour during heavy snowfall, helping maintain operations during winter storms. Most of the equipment was obtained through auctions or donations from larger airports, with officials noting that future eligibility for state and federal grants could allow new purchases once the airport becomes a commercial service facility. This update comes as a winter storm is expected to affect the region.
