A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from 4 AM Sunday to 6 PM Monday for snow accumulations between 12 and 18 inches, along with wind gusts as high as 40 mph. Snowfall rates could exceed 2 inches per hour. Locally higher snowfall amounts possible. Blowing and drifting of snow and whiteout conditions are possible.

Travel will be very difficult to impossible. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes.

MOVE PARKED VEHICLES OFF ROADWAYS

We cannot stress enough how important it is that vehicles parked on the street be moved prior to the storm. As noted in yesterday’s message, this is not only to ensure effective plowing operations from our DPW crews but to allow clearance for emergency vehicles.

Also, under the Township ordinance, vehicles must be removed from roadways from the first hour of commencement of snow to 12 hours after the snow has stopped for snowfall over 4 inches.

For the duration of this storm, parking on your front lawn is acceptable.

Available parking locations when four inches of snow is predicted are:

•Senior Center-Linwood Place
•Babbage Park-Glenridge Avenue
•Public Library-Hermann Road
•Parking lot across from the Municipal Building
•Veterans Park-Roosevelt Avenue
•Community Park-Rt. 130
•Sabella Park-Cozzens Lane
•JFK Park-Schmidt Lane

Please pass this information on to your neighbors.

SHOVELING

Please make sure to shovel your sidewalks following the storm to ensure safety for pedestrians. Sidewalks must be shoveled within 24 hours after the snowfall has ended.

Please do NOT throw snow into the street when clearing your property. The Township code prohibits casting snow onto Township roadways.

If you live near a fire hydrant, please help the Fire Department and your neighbors, by shoveling around the hydrant. This could be a life saving measure!

The Office of Emergency Management will continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates with the latest information.

Due to expected bitterly cold temperatures over the weekend, please take the following steps to help prevent frozen or burst pipes:

• Keep heat on and set thermostats to at least 55°F, even if you are away
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
• Allow faucets to drip slightly, especially on exterior walls
• Ensure garage doors are closed if water lines run through the garage
• Do not turn off heat in vacant units

If you notice no water flow, unusual sounds, or signs of a frozen or leaking pipe, please report it immediately.

If you see something that may indicate a water main break, please call (732) 297-3739.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping prevent water damage during cold weather.
