Intersections: Treat all dark traffic signals as Four-Way Stops. 🛑
🧤 SHOVELING & SNOWBLOWING SAFETY
As you clear your driveways and sidewalks, please keep these tips in mind:
Listen to Your Body: Take frequent breaks. Shoveling is strenuous; if you feel chest pain or shortness of breath, stop immediately.
Clear the Chute Safely: Never use your hands to clear a clog in a snowblower. Always use a tool or a wooden handle to clear the chute, even when the machine is off.
⚠️ A SPECIAL NOTE FOR FAMILIES
No Snow Igloos: We want the kids to have fun, but please do not allow them to tunnel into large snow embankments. These mounds are unstable, can collapse without warning, and are often located near active plow routes.
We thank you for your resilience and for looking out for your neighbors. We are working hard to return the Township to normal operations as quickly as possible.
Stay warm and stay safe!
