The Public Works Department has been preparing for the inclement weather currently forecasted to begin tonight, Tuesday March 6 at 11:00 PM, and continue into tomorrow, Wednesday, March 7th until 6:00 PM. The roads have not been brined as the storm will begin with rain which washes the brine away prior to snow fall. The storm is forecast to begin with rain around 11:00 PM this evening and turn to snow at 7:00 AM tomorrow with snow continuing throughout the day.

At this time, the snow is expected to accumulate to 8-12 inches. This is expected to be a plowable event and the roads will be slippery during the storm as salting operations are taking place. All equipment is operational and Public Works will be monitoring the conditions throughout the evening.

Public Works will be staffed throughout the storm. If you have an emergency, please dial 911. If your concern is not an emergency, please contact the JPD at their non-emergency number, (215) 884-1202. 

• Safety measures in the event of a power outage: There is always the possibility of a power outage due to the high winds that accompany a storm.  If you use a power generator, please make sure the generator is located outside in the open air for proper ventilation.  Any portable heaters or candles that may be used in the event of a power outage should not be located near anything flammable.
•  PECO: Customers experiencing any issues should contact PECO at 1-800-841-4141, peco.com or PECO Smart Mobile On-the-Go, the company’s mobile enhanced website.
