Winter Weather Update February 11

Published on February 11, 2025

All City offices, including Parks and Rec and Winchester Transit, are closing at 3 p.m. today, Tuesday, February 11, and will re-open tomorrow at 11 a.m. Tonight’s City Council meeting has been canceled.

Winchester is expecting around 5 inches of snow beginning Tuesday afternoon, with the heaviest snowfall anticipated for Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday, when snowfall rates could reach 1 inch per hour.

Attention drivers: Due to these expected hazardous winter conditions, please avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility can create dangerous roadways. Stay safe and stay off the roads!

Don’t forget that City Code requires residents and businesses to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of stormy weather if we receive 6 inches or less of snow. If we get more than 6 inches, you have 40 hours to clear sidewalks. If you are a senior citizen or physically unable to shovel your sidewalk, our Snowbuster volunteer program is here to help. Sign up for Snowbuster support on the City website:  https://www.winchesterva.gov/News.../Get-Engaged/Snowbusters

Please follow along with the City’s social media accounts and website for the most up-to-date information as this storm continues to develop.
