As road conditions begin to deteriorate, follow all emergency management and public safety travel restrictions and guidance.

Limit travel. Stay off the roads unless it is essential. Crews are working to keep routes open for emergency response and plowing operations.

This storm is ongoing and conditions will continue to worsen through tonight and into tomorrow. The system has a long duration and impacts will increase as snowfall and winds intensify.

Stay home. Stay safe. Monitor official township updates.

Hey neighbors — just a quick, friendly reminder!

Please avoid using snowblowers to push snow back into streets that have already been plowed. When snow gets pushed back into the roadway, it creates icy spots and means our Public Works crews have to go back out and redo areas they already cleared.⁠
⁠
A little extra care goes a long way in keeping roads safe for everyone — and helps our crews keep moving through the Township efficiently.

Thanks so much for doing your part and looking out for one another.
