NASHUA, NH — The director of Public Works for the City of Nashua has declared a snow emergency starting at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 2, until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the greater Nashua area. Total snow accumulations of up to 7 inches or more are possible. Be prepared for significant reductions in visibility at times.

Public Works

It is very challenging to keep streets clear with heavy snow conditions and especially with ice.

If you don’t need to be out on the roads, please stay off them for your safety and to make room for equipment working to keep roads open. Residents should only expect primary routes to be cleared initially during this storm. Residential side streets will not be plowed immediately. Regularly plowed sidewalks will not be plowed until crews have a chance to clear primary and residential streets.

During the snow emergency:

• No on-street or municipal surface lot parking is allowed.
• FREE parking will be available in the Elm Street and High Street garages and also at 25 Crown Street in the parking lot behind Make It Labs AS SOON AS THE SNOW EMERGENCY IS ANNOUNCED. You do not need to wait until 10 PM on Tuesday to move your vehicle into the parking garages or 25 Crown Street.
• NO snow emergency parking in leased spaces in these garages between 7am and 5pm Monday thru Friday. *******
• THE OVERNIGHT PARKING PROGRAM IS SUSPENDED.

During the snow emergency, the city of Nashua will tow vehicles remaining on the street and in the municipal surface lots.

Owners of towed vehicles may retrieve their cars at the Solid Waste Department (Landfill) and must pay a fine of $315 (cash, money order, or credit card only). Please note that cars may be picked up at the landfill scale house at all times during the snow emergency.

After the snow emergency has been lifted, cars may be picked up between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
