Full Notification

In an effort to clarify a misconception, a Snow Emergency is not the same as observing street cleaning. When the plows pass a designated Snow Emergency Roadway, you cannot park your vehicle back on the roadway. Our Public Works officials are working diligently to clear the roads, please comply with this ordinance.

Snow Emergency Streets are being enforced!

Garbage & Recycling routes have been canceled for the remainder of today. Please observe your next scheduled pick up day.

Lyndhurst Public Schools Closed (inclusive of before and aftercare) Thurs. 01/04/18

Winter Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 0100 hours on January 5th.

Snow will move into the area overnight and continue through tomorrow afternoon. Total snow accumulation is expected to be 3 - 6 inches. There is some forecast uncertainty in regards to the track of the storm. A westward shift of just 30 miles could result in 6 – 8 inches, a shift to the East of 30 miles could only leave us with 1 – 3 inches. North of Route 4 and West of the Parkway will see less snow, while South of Route 4 and East of the Parkway will see more snow.

Temperatures will drop sharply tomorrow evening and remain in the single digits with wind-chill temperatures below zero through Sunday.

Winds will be 15-20 MPH with gusts up to 35 MPH. This will cause blowing and drifting snow.
Report power outages to the following numbers:

PSEG: 1-800-436-7734
