Hey, did you hear it’s going to snow? Looks like the Ground Hog may have been right. With that said, based on the now possible 16-20 inches they are calling for our area a snow emergency 🚨 has been declared in the township. The Libary is closed and all streets should be cleared of cars to allow efficient plowing by the township crews. Trash will be on a holiday schedule and pushed back a day.

Lower Moreland Township has declared a snow emergency effective Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 6:00 PM until Noon on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Township code requires all motor vehicles to be removed from roads and snow to be cleared from fire hydrants. Township residents are also required to clear...

❄ Road Treatment/Snow Plow Process 🌨

The Lower Moreland Township Public Works Department wants to keep residents informed about their snowplow and road treatment process to ensure the community stays safe and accessible.

- Whenever a storm is in the forecast, the Public Works Department proactively treats the roads with brine (a mix of salt and water) a day or two ahead of time. While brine is a helpful tool, its use can vary depending on different storm conditions.

- Once snow accumulates to 2 inches, plowing will begin.

- The department prioritizes plowing routes, focusing on keeping essential routes clear first—state routes are the top priority to ensure emergency vehicles can access them quickly.

- After the snowfall or sleet has stopped, the department tackles the main streets in major areas, followed by side streets, and finally, cul-de-sacs. This method helps serve the most residents in the most efficient way possible.

- The minimum service goal of Lower Moreland Township is to ensure all roads are passable with at least one lane in each direction within 24 hours after a storm has stopped. Most of the time, the department surpasses this goal, but every storm is unique, and conditions can vary.

*Tip for homeowners:* Mailboxes can sometimes be tricky during plowing. It is recommended that residents install mailboxes so that the front aligns with the back of the curb, or about 12 inches from the roadway where there are no curbs. Heavy, wet snow can create enough force to take down mailboxes, which are the responsibility of property owners.

❄ Winter Storm Reminders⛄

- Lower Moreland Township Code requires all property owners to remove accumulated snow and ice from sidewalks within 36 hours of a snowstorm. Residents should clear a pathway of at least 30 inches to help keep schoolchildren and other pedestrians safe.

- Additionally, plowing or piling snow into the street or gutters is prohibited.

- Tenants share the responsibility with property owners for keeping sidewalks clear of snow.

- Lastly, all roads in the Township are designated as “snow emergency routes.” It is important to note that parking or driving on these roads is not allowed once an emergency is declared.

Thank you to all residents for their cooperation in helping make the community a safer place during the winter months! Stay warm and safe!
