Snow Tips

Remove your vehicle from the road during a snow emergency, which is declared if there is over two inches of snow on the ground. Your vehicle may be towed if it is parked in the street. * Shovel snow from your driveway or sidewalk onto your front yard, not the street. * Shovel your sidewalk within 18 hours after the last snowflake falls. If you can't cut through the actual sidewalk, a two-foot wide path on the adjacent grass is permissible. * Pile snow to the right of your driveway when you shovel. * Align your mailbox face with the back of the curb to avoid contact with the snowplows. * Remove trash and recycling receptacles, basketball nets, and all other items from the roadway to avoid damages. * In the event of a predicted large snowfall, you may want to consider removing your mailbox from the post to avoid damage. *Please help our firefighters help you by shoveling out a 3 foot area around fire hydrants on your property. * For more information click HERE or contact 215-855-0900.
