The recent turn of weather comes after multiple storms in the past weeks, which have dumped snow across the area.

In Livingston, all non-emergency offices were closed on Thursday.

"The township advises residents to avoid traveling during and immediately after the snow if possible," officials said. "Keep vehicles off of streets until well after the storm when all plowing has been completed. Stay off of roads to allow plows and emergency vehicles to pass through as safely as possible."

In the event of an emergency, residents should call 911, Livingston officials said.

Livingston officials said residents should also shovel out and clear snow from:

• fire hydrants on or near their property
• sewer grates near their property
• sidewalks on their property with 48 hours of the end of the snowfall

"Our Department of Public Works employees started working before the storm, brining and salting roads," Livingston officials said. "They will continue working until all roads have been cleared. Depending on the amount of snow, clearing the roads could take a while."
