It is very likely that Blacksburg will see significant snowfall Sunday into early Monday morning. Public Works will begin pretreating the streets on Saturday and plowing main thoroughfares and neighborhoods once the storm begins on Sunday.

Residents are asked to move their vehicles from the streets so the plows can safely and efficiently clear the snow. Most importantly, please be safe. Unless vehicular travel is absolutely essential, please consider staying at home until the storm passes and the roads are clear.
