A Wind Advisory is in effect from 2 p.m. Monday to 2 a.m. Tuesday. Winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph are expected. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

Periods of heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding.

Please use caution while driving tomorrow, especially in the afternoon and evening.

7:30 AM WINTER STORM UPDATE

The Blizzard of 2026 continues to unleash its fury this morning with very heavy snow bands, with rates of 1-3 inches per hour. These bands should linger into the morning and likely won't start to ease up until closer to late morning. Because of these very heavy bands, we likely will see snowfall totals between 18 and 24 inches.

Please do NOT throw snow into the street when clearing your property. The Township code prohibits casting snow onto Township 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!

Also, all municipal offices will be closed today, Monday, February 23.
