Leesburg, VA (February 17, 2021) –
Current weather forecasts are calling for
six to eight inches of snow, beginning
this evening and through Friday.
In advance of the expected snowfall,
Town officials will put snow emergency
route restrictions into effect beginning at
11:59 p.m. tonight.
When snow emergency route
restrictions are in place, no on-street
parking is allowed on the following
roadways:
King Street, from the Union Cemetery to Country Club Drive
Loudoun Street, from Liberty Street to Harrison Street
Market Street, from Fairview Street to the Route 7/15 Bypass

Any vehicles remaining on designated snow emergency routes once snow removal operations
begin will be towed at the owners’ expense.
In preparation for the storm, Town crews pretreated primary routes throughout town today.
Snow removal operations will begin once enough snow has accumulated on roadways,
