The Elizabeth Township Public Works Department would like to warn all residents about the upcoming storm from Saturday - Monday.

This storm will produce snow fall rates and temperatures that will not allow us to salt the roads during this storm. However, roads will be plowed opened for the duration of the storm and completely cleaned up when the storm has concluded. All street in Elizabeth Township will be snow covered throughout the storm.

Roads will be plowed and kept open according to traffic levels. As such, state roads, county roads, and hills will be plowed first. Neighborhood roads will be second. Alleyways will be done at the completion of the storm. The crews will be out running shifts during the entire storm, so if your street has not seen a plow in several hours, they will be making their way there eventually. Only absolutely necessary travel should be done on Sunday and Monday to allow us to effectively plow.

Heavy winds during and after the storm will produce drifting snow on higher level streets and roads, so use caution when driving through drifted snow. Bitter cold temperatures are expected for the next several days, so please use caution if traveling. Ice spots can form without warning, so please, lower travel speeds and leave yourself plenty of extra time to get to your destination. If steep hills become too dangerous to treat or plow, we will temporarily close them. For your safety, do not go around any barricades you encounter! We will do our best to post any road closures on the Police, Public Works, and Township pages.

Please be patient with us and we hope that everyone stays home and stays safe. Thank you!

As we anticipate heavy snowfall over the next several days, the Elizabeth Township Public Works Department is asking for your cooperation in making sure we are able to safely and efficiently clear roadways.

- Stay home unless absolutely travel is necessary until roadways are cleared.

- If you are behind a plow truck, please give them at least 500' to properly do their jobs and prevent possible vehicle damage.

- Do not shovel snow onto roadways.

- Remove obstacles from the street, including basketball hoops and sports nets. Basketball hoops that are off the roadway but have the baskets hanging over the roadway are at risk of being damaged by a plow truck.

- Keep parked vehicles off the street when at all possible and obey posted "No Parking Signs" during the snow event.

- Please be patient with us! Our crew is trained, prepared, and ready to work through this storm, and we expect to be working long hours over several days. Depending on the severity of the storm, it may take us a while to make our roads passable. If you notice that your road has not yet been plowed, don't panic, we WILL be coming to do it!

- In case of emergency, please call 911.

Thank you for your cooperation! Stay safe and stay warm!
