Full Notification

A Blizzard Warning for Bergen County continues overnight until Monday, February 23, at 6:00 PM.

Total accumulations of 17-22 inches is possible.  Snowfall rates may reach up to 2 inches per hour.

Winds will be 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph.

The heaviest snow and strongest winds are expected tonight into Monday.

A blizzard warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected, and include blowing snow with strong winds that will lead to white-out conditions with very low visibility, making travel extremely dangerous (if not impossible).

TRAVEL

If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution.  Ensure your vehicle is winterized and is in good working order.  Consider taking a winter storm kit with you, including items such as tire chains, booster cables, shovel, flashlight, a charged cell phone, and anything else that would help you survive if you become stranded.

Please be sure to monitor local weather forecasts for updates.

POWER OUTAGES

The snow and wind may cause downed trees and power lines causing power outages.

To report a power outage, contact PSE&G directly at 800-436-7734.

PARKING AND SNOW REMOVAL

Saddle Brook municipal ordinance now requires all vehicles to be removed from the roadways whenever snow has fallen and streets are snow covered.

Municipal ordinance also prohibits snow to be shoveled or blown back onto the roadway.

In addition, sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice 24-hours after the snow has stopped falling.

Violators are subject to tickets and fines.

The goal of these municipal ordinances is to keep drivers and pedestrians as safe as possible.
