TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP, PA – Tredyffrin Township is enacting a snow emergency beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March and ending at 11 p.m. Wednesday, March 21 due to the fourth nor'easter to hit the Philadelphia region in recent weeks.

During the emergency, parking is not permitted on designated snow emergency routes.

The township said it will take 10 to 12 hours after the snow ceases to complete clean up operations due to the storm's large size.

Keep the following guidelines in mind during the snow emergency:

• Follow updates by the National Weather Service.
• Anticipate poor road conditions and when possible avoid traveling on snow/ice-covered roads, especially overpasses, and bridges. Use main roads and plan trips to avoid extreme curves and hilly areas.
• Do not travel at all when visibility is poor.
• Follow Plow Trucks at a safe distance and allow plenty of room. Also, think likely that the driver may not be able to see you at all times and anticipate sudden stops or turns.
• If you must travel, always take your mobile phone with you and medical/health information. Have necessary medications on hand. If you are a diabetic (or other health issue) please remember to wear the medical alert bracelet.
• If you must travel, let someone know your destination and when you expect to arrive. Ask them to notify the police department if you fail to arrive or check in.
• Check and restock the winter emergency supplies such as water, snow brush/ice scraper and extra warm clothing and or a blanket in your car before you leave.
• Never strike and or pour water on your windshield to remove ice or snow; shattering may occur. Also clear all of the snow or ice from all windows, headlights and tail lights for maximum visibility.
• If you are having a medical emergency, call 911 and responders will transport you to the necessary medical facility.
