Blizzard Preparations

Good afternoon,

Winter Storm Warning – Important Community Notice

A significant winter storm will impact our area from Sunday at 7:00 AM through Monday at 6:00 PM. Unlike January’s storm, this one is expected to be much more severe.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for all counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. Forecasts call for 14–18 inches of heavy, wet snow and wind gusts up to or exceeding 40 mph. Conditions may continue to worsen, and there is an increasing risk of blizzard conditions for our borough.

Blizzard conditions are defined as:

• Visibility of ¼ mile or less due to heavy or blowing snow
• Winds 35 mph or higher
• These conditions lasting at least 3 hours

Please be aware that widespread power outages are possible.

• Report downed power lines or outages to PECO or PPL.
  PECO: 1-800-841-4141.
  PPL: 1-800-DIAL-PPL (1-800-342-5775)
• If you experience or suspect a fire hazard, call 911 immediately.

For your safety:

• Stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.
• Keep roads clear for public works and emergency crews.
• After the storm, use caution when removing snow and help clear fire hydrants near your home.

Thank you for your cooperation and help in keeping our community safe.
