A Blizzard Warning continues through 6 a.m. Sunday morning. Total snow accumulations of more than 2 feet.
The strongest winds and greatest potential for blizzard conditions will occur through this afternoon then the snow will taper off tonight and early Sunday morning.
A State of Emergency is in effect for the state. Please DO NOT travel due to extremely hazardous road conditions. Police have reported that Routes 1 and 130 are nearly impassable due to the combination of heavy snow and strong winds.
The following is important reminders for residents:
--> The Township’s operations center is open during the storm. Please call (732) 247-7272 for storm related information.
--> Please do NOT throw snow into the street when clearing your property. Township ordinance prohibits putting snow back into the 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!
--> In case of power outages, please contact the utility company (PSE&G) directly at 1-800-436-7734. You can also visit their website at https://www.pseg.com/home/customer_service/outage_info/outage_grid.jsp. Please do not tie up police emergency phone lines with these calls. If you have an emergency, please call 911.
--> Please move all vehicles off the streets if possible in order for DPW crews to clean the roadways. They will be up working for you through the storm so it's the least we can do to make their job a little easier. It also allows for wider paths in case of emergency traffic.
--> Residents who live on a designated Snow Emergency street must remove their vehicle from the street. Township Police will strictly enforce this no parking ban and cars will be towed for those who do not comply. A complete list of Snow Emergency and partial Snow Emergency streets may be found on the Township website at www.northbrunswicknj.gov and on North Brunswick Channel 15.
Stay warm, stay safe, stay home!!!
