During the snow emergency, residents are not permitted to drive any motor vehicle on public roadways unless it is equipped with adequate equipment to provide sufficient traction to stay in motion so that other traffic will not be blocked, police said. "Be advised that if necessary, the township will tow your car and assess all costs to the owner of any vehicle parked on the public roadway during the declared Snow Emergency," police said.

"This weather will create hazardous travel conditions throughout the area. Residents are urged to avoid driving if not necessary," police said.

"A declaration of a snow emergency is not intended to inconvenience but rather to be helpful in promoting the most effective and efficient removal of snow and ice from township roads," police said.
