ICYMI:

2. New Jersey has implemented travel restrictions due to a major winter storm. A mandatory travel ban is in effect starting at 9 p.m. on Sunday and will last until 7 a.m. on Monday. This decision comes as the state braces for heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions, marking one of the largest snowstorms in 30 years

Details of the Travel Ban
All non-exempt vehicles are prohibited from traveling on roads except for the New Jersey Turnpike.
A temporary speed limit of 35 mph has been imposed on major highways starting earlier in the day
Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel during this period for safety reasons.

Here we go again

Snow is on the way. The second best thing you can do is stay off the roads. It helps our DPW do their job more easily. It reserves police, fire and EMS resources as well.

The best thing you can do is be ready.
Some easy things to do now:
Visit your local gas station and fill up and have gas ready if you have a snow blower
Get some extra food
Make sure your prescriptions are filled
Charge your phone
Have batteries, flashlights and candles ready
Have warm clothes and blankets easily accessible
Keep your children properly covered if they go outside
Check on your neighbors and the elderly

Some models are predicting 8-12“ in our neighborhood.
Friendly advice:
Shovel/plow your driveway early and often. Don’t let a foot of wet snow pile up
If you feel tired, faint, dizzy stop shoveling.

Finally- The Borough Hall remains a warming station. If need be, contact the police directly for after hours help.

02/07/2026

The punishing extreme cold weather will continue to tomorrow.

Reminder: The Municipal Building remains a warming station. Please reach out to the Police directly if you are in need.

If traveling, it is a good idea to take a safety kit with you. Extra clothes, blankets, food, water. Make sure your cell phone is charged.
