Warminster Declares Snow Emergency

Warminster residents received an October surprise with snowfall that so far has accumulated 2-4 inches.

Warminster Township has declared a snow emergency effective 3 p.m. October 29. This will remain in effect until 3 p.m. on October 30. Due to the National Weather Service forecasts and current roadway conditions, Township residents are strongly urged to not travel the roadways. Heavy snow conditions are creating slippery roadway conditions, causing power lines to fall, and tree limbs to enter the roadway.

Please be sure to keep all fire hydrants clear of snowfall. All vehicles and basketball nets should be removed from the roadway to ensure efficient and safe plowing/salting of the roads. Stay tuned to local news stations and the Township website at www.warminstertownship.org for more information.

The National Weather Service's winter storm warning predicts that the snow will end between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. Sunday morning.

All sidewalks must be cleared of snow/ice within 24 hours after snow/ice has stopped falling. Do not deposit, throw, or place snow and ice into the roadway as this is a violation of Ordinance 702 and creates an unsafe condition. Shoveling snow gradually during the storm will allow residents to clear snow easier.
