The National Weather Service is currently forecasting a winter weather event for the Blacksburg and Roanoke areas for Dec. 12-13.

In anticipation of wintry weather beginning in the overnight hours of Dec. 12, Virginia Tech has put snow emergency routes in effect starting 10 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12.

This designation goes into effect prior to road conditions deteriorating to support snow removal and emergency vehicle movement.

Potential parking and bus route impacts

When a Snow Route Emergency is declared, certain roads on campus must remain open for emergency vehicle use. All vehicles parked along five roads (parallel and diagonal) must be removed or they will be towed at owner's expense.

Please visit the Campus winter weather traffic and parking emergency procedures page to learn if your parking is impacted.
