Montclair township officials also warned residents about road conditions, which may become snow-covered and slick, especially on untreated surfaces.

The township also issued a reminder about parking in Montclair during snowstorms:

“Residents are reminded that parking on snow-covered streets is prohibited by the Township ordinance 327-25. The no-parking prohibition remains in effect for a period of 12 hours after the snowfall has stopped in order to facilitate snow removal operations. Police will be ticketing and towing vehicles parked on the streets during this period. Residents may park their vehicles ‘free-of-charge’ in municipal lots and the Midtown Deck (at 202 Glenridge Ave.) after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, until the snow is cleared. Please note Bay Street, Fullerton, and Crescent Decks are NOT available for free-of-charge parking.”

“All vehicles must be removed from roadways at the start of snow,” officials said. “Otherwise, they are subject to be ticketed and towed.”
