Rochester, New York – A video shows snow removal operations at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport on February 4, 2026, as crews battle heavy snow accumulation.

The clip features a large yellow airport snow blower actively clearing snow from the tarmac and runway areas.

Snow is blasted high into the air, creating dramatic plumes against the snowy, overcast backdrop.

The footage captures snow-covered ground, distant trees, airport infrastructure, and faint outlines of runways and buildings, highlighting the scale of the operation.

Staff work to manage the snow and prepare for the next winter weather event, with the poster noting efforts to make room for the “Next Snow Event” this weekend.

Distinctive airport equipment and signage confirm the location, emphasizing specialized operations separate from urban snowfall elsewhere in Rochester.

This video provides a firsthand view of airport crews keeping runways safe and operational during persistent winter conditions in upstate New York amid cold snaps and lake-effect snow.
