Full Notification

A Blizzard Warning is in effect from 1PM Sunday until 6PM Monday with heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 12 and 18 inches are possible with wind gusting as high as 50mph. Gov. Sherrill has declared a State of Emergency effective noon tomorrow.

From the National Weather Service: “Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life threatening. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and cause sporadic power outages. Travel could be very difficult to impossible.”

Downed power lines can be extremely dangerous and should always be considered “live”. To report hazards and other dangerous conditions, call 9-1-1. To report a power outage, call PSE&G at 800-436-7734,

To assist the Department of Public Works and their snow plowing operations, please remove all cars from the public roads. If you must park in the street, please follow all parking regulations including the  alternate side of the street parking ordinance. For streets covered under the snow emergency ordinance (B.O. 194-9), all cars must be removed from the street to avoid being summonsed and towed. 

Please plan ahead and move cars now before the snow falls. Municipal parking lots at Elm Place, Beechwood Place and the Public Library may be used during the storm. 

The Ramadan Ceremony scheduled for Sunday at 4:30pm in the Leonia Senior Center has been postponed. More information will be sent out when it is rescheduled. 

The Leonia Volunteer Fire Department is asking for your assistance during the storm. Please help clear snow from fire hydrants if possible. This will save valuable time in the event of an emergency.

We will send out additional Nixle messages with updates throughout the storm. Please help us with sharing this message and encourage friends and neighbors to sign up for Nixle. Instructions for Nixle Alerts can be found on the Borough's website. You can also sign up for Nixle mobile alerts by texting "07605" to "888777".
