Total snow accumulations between 5 and 9 inches possible for portions of central, northern, and southern Delaware, northeast Maryland, and southern New Jersey. Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. Snow will overspread the region late Sunday night and intensify through midday Monday.
It will then gradually taper off Monday night. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
It's Merchantville's first snow of 2025 and we have a few reminders to keep our neighbors safe:
To help speed snow removal, do not park cars on the street from one hour after the snow has continuously fallen until 12 hours after the snow has stopped.
If possible, wait until the Borough plows have made a few passes on your street before cleaning your driveway.
Do NOT shovel or blow snow into the street. Snow blowers should be adjusted so they blow snow toward your house.
To ensure the safety of pedestrians, residents are reminded they must remove snow from sidewalks within 24 hours after completion of a snow fall.
Public Works employees thank you for your help and will work to provide the best possible service to residents and ensure roads are cleared as quickly and safely as possible.
