Winter Storm Watch issued

The City of Hoboken is under a Winter Storm Watch from the National Weather Service starting Sunday morning, Feb. 22, through Monday, Feb. 23. Weather forecasts vary greatly with the City currently  anticipated to get anywhere from 3 to 7 inches of snow. High wind gusts of up to 40 mph are also possible. 

Public works crews will begin pre-treating roadways Saturday  afternoon ahead of the storm to reduce icy conditions, and snow removal and salting operations will continue throughout and after the storm as needed.  

As weather forecasts are updated, residents can expect the next advisory tomorrow afternoon following the City’s next operations briefing.  

Secure loose objects

Wind gusts of up to 40 mph are possible. Residents should secure all loose objects outside or bring them inside, especially from balconies. Outdoor tents should be taken down depending on the wind load.  

Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines, resulting in power outages. 

To prepare for a possible power outage, residents should keep flashlights, extra batteries, a battery-powered radio, and a fully charged portable phone charger available.  

Please report power outages and downed wires to PSEG at https://nj.myaccount.pseg.com/myservicepublic/outagepublic, texting OUT to 4PSEG (47734), or call 1-800-436-PSEG (7734).   

Snow Emergency Routes reminder

Residents are reminded that vehicles parked on snow emergency routes, when the streets are snow covered, may be subject to ticketing and towing. This is necessary to allow emergency vehicles to move throughout Hoboken for the safety and welfare of all residents. As always, cars parked illegally in, or too close to crosswalks are subject to towing. 

Emergency snow routes in Hoboken are labeled with street signs that read “No Parking When Road Is Snow Covered.” 

A map and list of emergency snow routes is available on the City website: www.hobokennj.gov/snow. 

Residents should be prepared to move their vehicles from these routes Sunday should the Office of Emergency Management announce that these routes will go into effect via Nixle and on social media. 

The City will announce any plans for discounted garage parking by tomorrow afternoon.
