Snow Management Enhanced

Construction under way
|
In case you've seen the construction at
the corner of Hughes Ford Road and Bucheimer Road: The airport has begun work on a building to store snow removal equipment.
The new facility will enhance snow removal efforts by providing a shelter to prepare equipment and manage
weather events - a capability the airport currently lacks. The building
will be completed in late spring and begin service as the snow removal
"command center" next winter.

What You Want to Know ... About Snow

 In
case of major snow, the Department of Public Works has developed an
online resource to provide snow plowing updates more frequently. You
will be able to find out sooner which streets are clear by going to the map on the city website
If you are the owner or occupant of a property in The City of Frederick, abutting a sidewalk, you are responsible for removing the snow and ice from that sidewalk. You have up to 12 hours after the snow stops falling to clear the snow and ice. Details and what to do in a snow emergency are also posted on the city website.
