The Town of Brattleboro is issuing a Travel Advisory due to anticipated hazardous winter
weather conditions and significant snowfall.
Effective: Sunday, January 25, 2026, at 12 p.m.
Through: Monday, January 26, 2026, at 7 p.m.
EXPECTED CONDITIONS
Snow accumulation of approximately 8–14 inches, with locally higher amounts
possible
Periods of moderate to heavy snowfall, resulting in reduced visibility
Snow-covered, icy, and slippery roadways, especially on secondary and untreated
streets
Cold temperatures contribute to reduced traction and longer melt times
Conditions expected to worsen overnight into Monday morning
VEHICLE TRAVEL GUIDANCE
During this period, no unnecessary travel is advised within the Town of Brattleboro.
Residents and visitors should:
Avoid non-essential travel
Allow extra time if travel is unavoidable
Reduce speeds and increase following distances
Keep emergency supplies in vehicles
Yield to plow trucks and emergency responders
PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL ADVISORY
Pedestrians are advised to use extreme caution during and after the storm.
Sidewalks are expected to be snow-covered for the duration of the storm and beyond,
as heavy snowfall and cold temperatures will slow snow removal efforts
Sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian routes may be narrowed, uneven, icy, or
obstructed by plowed snow
Walking conditions may be hazardous due to reduced visibility, falling snow, and
accumulating drifts
Pedestrians should remain highly visible, wear reflective or bright clothing, and use
caution when walking near roadways and active plowing operations
Extra time should be allowed for foot travel, and non-essential pedestrian travel
should be postponed when possible
PARKING BAN / SNOW REMOVAL NOTICE
To allow for effective snow removal:
Overnight parking is prohibited on all public streets between 12:01 a.m. and 7 a.m., in
accordance with Town ordinance
Vehicles that interfere with snow plowing or removal may be ticketed and towed at
the owner’s expense
Municipal lots and downtown areas may be temporarily closed during active snow
removal operations, and posted restrictions must be followed
Residents are urged to make advance arrangements for alternate parking to support
efficient plowing and emergency access.
Emergency services, Public Works, and public safety crews will remain active throughout
the advisory period. Weather and road conditions may change rapidly; updates will be
issued as needed.
