A blizzard warning has been issued for our area, bringing the potential for heavy snow, high winds and cold air. This will be a heavy wet snow which is more hazardous to shovel and it also can mean down wires and tree limbs.
Be aware and adhere to area snow zones/routes. Some borough streets are designated snow routes and cars should be moved from those areas. Use driveways where possible.
- If you have a fire hydrant near your home, please clean the area around the hydrant.
- Check on elderly neighbors and assist them as needed.
- Shovel/ blow snow onto property not onto the roadway.
- Stay off the roads unless you absolutely must travel somewhere.
- Keep in mind that emergency services personnel will be extremely busy.
*Power outages can be reported to Peco directly via phone at 1-800-841-4141 or their mobile app.
**No reason to report roads are bad, they know.
***Make sure your address is visible from the street.

Take care and be safe.

Good evening. Snow and sleet are creating hazardous road conditions—please slow down, allow extra travel time, and avoid unnecessary trips. There is also the potential for scattered power outages. Ridley Park EM has an established evacuation center and other contingency plans in the event of a prolonged power outage within the borough. Stay weather-aware, use caution, and check on neighbors who may need assistance. Stay safe.

Police have been out and about patrolling since the first flakes began to fall. Overall the snow routes look good and vehicles are parked legally. Thank you!!
If you are parked in a snow zone, please move your vehicle ASAP so plow trucks can get by safely. Also, please try not to travel, as the day progresses the roads will continue to get worse.
