Snow Emergency In Effect January 6 through January 7

Due to the impending storm, Chief of Police Krimmel has declared a Snow Emergency that will be in effect from 6 AM on Monday January 6 2025 until 6 AM Tuesday January 7, 2025. During this Snow Emergency, it shall be unlawful at any time during the continuance of the Snow Emergency for any person to park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain anywhere on any designated snow emergency route (any township street). Failure to remove vehicles may result in fines and or towing of vehicles.
We need the vehicles removed so our Road Crew and PENNDOT can effectively plow your streets.
A snow emergency DOES NOT mean you can ride your ATVs and snowmobiles in the street.
Please clear any fire hydrants near your homes and help your older neighbors with shoveling if you can.
The walking trails at both Playwicki Farm and Russel Elliot Memorial Park will be closed Monday (1/6) and Tuesday (1/7). Thank you for your cooperation and please stay safe!
Thank you for your cooperation.
