Please see the below information from the North Brunswick Township Office of Emergency Management. As with every storm, please stay off the roads if possible. A State of Emergency has already been issued by Governor Phil Murphy, so please heed the warnings. The snow totals seem to be changing, but we can probably count on getting at least several inches.
The snow emergency routes are attached to this post. As stated, if you live on these streets you will need to have your vehicles moved from the street. If off-street parking is not available, residents are able to use the parking lots of Babbage, Sabella, and Community Parks.
If snow does accumulate, please keep in mind your closest fire hydrant. Shoveling out an area of just three feet around that hydrant will save the North Brunswick Volunteer Fire Department some valuable time if needed.
Power outages are possible due to the nature of this storm, and area utility poles and trees may be in danger of falling or leaning. Please use caution and report any obvious damage.
As always, please take care of your neighbors... Please look out for elderly residents that may have trouble dealing with any power or heat loss.
Thank you, and just remember... Spring is coming.
From the North Brunswick Office of Emergency Management:
We are monitoring a coastal storm which will affect the region beginning tonight and continuing through Wednesday night. At this time, 5 to 10 inches of snow is forecasted.
The Township of North Brunswick advises residents to remove their vehicles off the street for snowfall in order for DPW crews to clean the roadways and make it safe for the public.
Residents who live on a designated Snow Emergency street must remove their vehicle from the street. A complete list of Snow Emergency and partial Snow Emergency streets may be found at www.northbrunswicknj.gov/snow/snow-emergency-streets.
Due to the heavy, wet nature of the snow, along with gusty winds expected (not as bad as the last coastal storm), there is a threat of downed trees and power outages.
To report downed wires or power outages, call PSE&G’s Customer Service line at 1-800-436-PSEG. Please be sure to charge your cell phones and have flashlights available in the event of a power outage.
The wind will also lead to blowing and drifting snow which will reduce visibilities.
Township OEM will provide further updates as conditions warrant.
