The City is preparing to launch snow and ice operations on Friday, Jan. 12 and Saturday, Jan. 13 as a potential winter storm moves through the area. New snow accumulation throughout the City is expected to total 1-3 inches on Friday evening into Saturday morning. Extremely low temperatures also will create the potential for icy roads. City crews will be working throughout the afternoon, evening and Saturday morning clearing roads and applying de-icing material as needed. Please prepare, use caution and avoid or limit travel when conditions are hazardous.

The City of Longmont’s Customer Call Center is open 8 am – 5 pm Monday-Friday to answer customer’s questions and service needs. The Call Center is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Understand our Goals in Snow and Ice Control.

View our Snow and Ice Control webpages for an overview of the City’s goals and strategies, plus view the designated snow routes map. Not every street is a snow route; find the ones near you and plan your best trip.

Follow the Code.

Most residents are required to remove snow and ice from the public sidewalks adjacent to their property. Longmont Municipal Code states that you have 24 hours after a storm ends to clear your sidewalks.
