Winter Storm Update 7am, Heavy snow expected 10am to 7pm. Avoid unnecessary travel today 
Do not underestimate this winter storm. This will be a high impact event with periods of rapidly accumulating snow beginning later this morning and continuing throughout the afternoon. Driving will be very difficult to impossible later today. The I-95 corridor has an uncertain and changing forecast.
High wind gusts are expected. This combined with the heavy, wet snow could cause power outages. If you experience loss of power, report it to JCPL at 1-888-LIGHTSS or click REPORT OUTAGE at www,firstenergycorp.com.
Use caution when shoveling the wet, heavy snow. Make several passes throughout the day and take frequent breaks.
Make sure to remove all vehicles and trailers from roadways to help with plowing efforts.
Remember that plows will be keeping all main roads clear for emergency vehicles during the height of the storm. Secondary streets and neighborhood plowing will continue long after snow fall has stopped and continue through the overnight hours. Be patient. If you clear your sidewalks and driveway aprons, DO NOT SHOVEL OR PLOW YOUR SNOW INTO THE STREET. Place your snow onto lawn areas to lessen the amount that could be plowed back into your apron.
Assist firefighters by keeping hydrants shoveled.
