The Borough will declare a Snow Alert effective at 9:00 pm on Monday, January 15, 2024 until further notice. We will continue to monitor forecasts, and should predictions change, the Borough will adjust the upcoming alert. As projected accumulations are varied and inconsistent currently, we are moving ahead with the alert declaration to ensure our crews are able to do the necessary work both prior to and during the upcoming weather event. Crews will be out when the snow begins and will continue to monitor the storm and plow/salt accordingly.
For citizens, a snow alert means that all vehicles parked on those streets where signage indicates no parking during a snow alert are required, by law, to be moved elsewhere in order to allow snow plowing of the road surface. Snow alert signage dictates which side of the street residents may not park on when an alert is declared. Residents may park in their driveways (if available), alternate sides of their street, or on another street not marked "No Parking." These parking restrictions are put into place for the purpose of public safety as well as the efficiency of snow clearing on Borough streets; vehicles in violation are subject to ticketing and/or towing.
For any weather-related emergency, please dial 9-1-1.
We would also like to remind residents and business owners that it is illegal to deposit snow removed from sidewalks or private property onto any Borough street. Violators are subject to fines. To assist emergency personnel, specifically firefighters, please be sure to clear a three (3) foot clearance around all fire hydrants on your property.
The Borough is planning for the snow event with crews out preparing known trouble spots and will remain on call until after the Snow Alert is lifted. Throughout the storm, crews will be clearing snow on all Borough roads.
Should this storm feature ice, which can collect on trees and wires along with windy conditions, PECO asks that if you see any downed wires, please stay away and contact them immediately at (800) 841-4141 with the location. Under no circumstance should residents attempt to lift, move, or adjust electric wires.
The alert will stay in effect until further notice and will be posted on the website and social media channels when the Snow Alert is lifted, and residents can resume normal parking.
The Borough also asks citizens to be neighborly and check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors who may need assistance. Also, be sure to keep house numbers visible so that emergency responders can find you in case of emergency. Stay safe, and call for help if you need it!
