Snow Emergency Declared in Nashua

Submitted by Justin T. Kates, Nashua Director of Emergency Management:

The City of Nashua has declared a snow emergency starting on Tuesday, February 18th, at 7 p.m. until Wednesday, February 19th, at 5 a.m. This snow emergency may be adjusted if weather conditions change. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning and is expecting between 6 and 8 inches of snow in the Nashua area.

The trash collection schedule will not change due to this snow emergency. Please do not put out trash bins overnight to ensure plows have room, however please have them at the curb by 6:45 a.m.

School sidewalk routes will likely not be cleared for school Wednesday and residents should plan accordingly.

It is very challenging to keep streets clear with snow storm conditions. If possible, please remain off the roads during this time for your safety and to make room for equipment working to keep roads open.

Parking of cars on the street and in the municipal surface lots is prohibited during this time. FREE parking will be available in the Elm Street and High Street garages during the snow emergency.

During the hours of the snow emergency, the City of Nashua will be towing 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 $295 (cash, money order or credit card only). Please note that cars may be picked up during normal business hours.

Depending on the duration of the storm and snowfall amounts, crews may need extensive time once the storm ends to clean all street and sidewalk routes. Please call the Public Works snow line at 589-4795 for up to date information. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our dedicated Public Works crews work around the clock to clear snow during this major snow event.
