Town Of Maplewood Says: Move Your Cars Before Snowstorm

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The Township of Maplewood is preparing for Sunday's winter storm and sent an alert on Sunday afternoon.

They noted:

• An emergency declaration went into effect Sunday at noon.
• The Maplewood PD’s emergency phone number is 973-762-1234.
• There is no overnight parking on snow covered streets, and we ask residents to move their vehicles as to not impede snow removal operations throughout the storm.
• They also ask residents to not blow or shovel snow into the roadways.
• Monday's scheduled recycling pick up will be picked up on Tuesday. We ask that residents place their recycling at the curb and not in street as to not impede snow removal operations.
• From the Maplewood Fire Department: Winter storms can often hide fire hydrants under a mountain of snow making them impossible to find quickly. The Maplewood Fire Department would like to remind residents to please “Adopt-a-Hydrant” and shovel in front of and around the fire hydrant closest to your home so that firefighters can see and access it.

The students of the South-Orange Maplewood public school students will have a remote school day on Monday, the district announced on Sunday.

The National Weather Service issued an alert Sunday afternoon predicting 16 to 22 inches of total snowfall from Sunday night through early Tuesday morning in North Jersey.
