- Residents should ensure that they do not shovel or snow blow their snow back into the roadway after it has been plowed as this creates a hazardous condition.
- Anyone with a fire hydrant near their property is asked to keep the hydrant clear of snow in the event of an emergency.
When a significant snowfall is expected, residents should move cars off the roadways and into driveways.
Forecasters say the Garden State may be in for more snow later this week, particularly Thursday and Friday. Specifically for Union County, the National Weather Service predicts snow Tuesday and Thursday.
