KTRK received another 4" of snow overnight. O&M crews are again out clearing snow. Runways are NOTAM'd to open at noon today, with wingtip clearance restrictions. Pilots check NOTAMS and FICONS for restrictions and updates.

Vehicles on airfield need to be aware and stay clear of snow removal equipment. Stay tuned for midday updates on snow removal progress. Red Truck Cafe, Sierra Aero and rental car companies are open.

Evening update: Snow is continuing to fall this afternoon, but we indeed managed to open 16:00 local. Due to the heavy snow fall, our snowbanks have grown to the point we need to implement wingtip clearance restrictions. Wingspan is restricted to 45’ on all runway/taxiways. We anticipate expanding wingspan restrictions to 56’ tomorrow during tower operations for runway 11/29, and using taxiways Foxtrot and Delta to access 11/29. Wingspan restrictions will return to 45' when tower is not in operation. West end hangar rows are almost opened, and tomorrow we’ll continue working on A-H hangars; we have deep snow that must be pushed one loader at a time, to then be ramped or tossed with our snow-blowers. O&M continues to clear snow as quickly and safely as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Please check NOTAMS and FICONS for the latest updates.
