Lacey Police: Please Get Vehicles Off Roads Before Snowstorm Hits

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Police Chief Michael C. DiBella is asking residents to start preparing for the potentially heavy snow that may be headed our way by keeping all parked vehicles off the streets once the storm starts.

Roadways have to be kept clear so the Public Works Department can plow the streets.

"Vehicles left in the roadway may be ticketed and towed," the chief said. "Furthermore, please make sure all portable basketball hoops, garbage cans, etc. are removed from the roadway."

The winter storm watch will begin on Wednesday evening, Jan. 3 through Thursday, Jan. 4.

The National Weather Service says heavy snow is possible with total accumulations of 4 to 6 inches, along with strong winds and significant visibility reductions.

"Strong winds are possible Thursday, however the actual impacts, including snowfall amounts will be highly dependent on the track of the offshore intensifying storm. There is at least some potential for significant snow amounts," the NWS says.
