The Division of Roads and additional contracted crews are fully mobilized and prepared to keep Township roads as clear and safe as possible during the storm and our Police and Emergency Services stand ready to ensure rapid response times throughout the Township.
I have been in contact with Governor Sherrill’s Office this morning, and they stand ready, should we need state assistance. JCP&L has additional crews — including mutual aid from outside the immediate area — to address any potential power outages as quickly and safely as possible.
Snow is expected to begin later this afternoon, with periods of heavy snowfall that could reach 1–3 inches per hour at times. While our plows will be operating continuously along established routes, road conditions may deteriorate quickly, and it may appear that streets have not yet been serviced. Please remain patient and avoid unnecessary travel. If you experience an emergency, contact 911 so first responders can safely reach you. Streets will not be fully cleared until snowfall tapers off.
This is forecasted to be a wet, heavy snow. Please use caution while shoveling and clearing driveways, and take frequent breaks to avoid overexertion. Check in on elderly neighbors and those who may need assistance.
Let’s work together to stay safe and look out for one another during this storm.
