The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Hoboken and the surrounding area starting tomorrow, Jan. 19, at 7 a.m. through 7 p.m. due to expected snow of up to approximately 3 inches. Snow on Friday may result in travel disruptions, especially for the evening commute.
At this time, street cleaning on Friday, Jan. 19, will occur as scheduled and emergency snow routes are not anticipated to be in effect during the storm. Residents are encouraged to monitor Nixle alerts and the City's social media accounts for updates including the Hoboken OEM Twitter page at @HobokenOEM, the City’s Twitter page at @CityofHoboken, and the Hoboken Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/Hoboken.

Keep Sidewalks and Curb Ramps Clear
While the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Public Works will salt and plow streets, if necessary, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have 6 hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts.
Residents are urged to assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow from their properties.
It is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.
The City performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements. While the majority of property owners comply with the safety regulations, the City will issue fines to those who do not keep sidewalks clear.
To report an unshoveled sidewalk, please email [email protected].
