Snow Emergency Declared in Lower Merion

Lower Merion Township has declared a snow morning from 10 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, through 3 p.m. Friday, March 6.

Additionally, all township offices will have a two-hour delayed opening on Thursday, March 5.

Township libraries will open at noon on Thursday, March 5.

Snow will be heavy at times and make travel “very hazardous or impossible,” the National Weather Service said. Up to 11 inches of snow is expected.

According to the township:

The emergency declaration alerts residents not to park in cul-de-sacs and on emergency snow routes. Residents are reminded to park on the odd sides of the street in 2015. If you have a driveway, please park there. There is no parking in a cul-de-sac until after plowing is complete. All residential and commercial sidewalks must be cleared 36 inches in width and within 24 hours of the end of each snowfall. If at all possible, please stay off roadways until they have been safely cleared. Do not push snow into the street from driveways or parking lots, as there will be increased enforcement on this issue.
