Winter Storm Update - Plowing Continues, Sidewalk Ordinance

Tuesday 1/27 8:30AM - Cleanup is still underway following Sunday's snowstorm, which dropped over 11" of snow and sleet on Neptune Township. Public Works crews are on the road plowing, salting, and widening streets throughout Neptune. Snow parking restrictions were lifted on Monday night, and Neptune Schools are operating on a two-hour delay for Tuesday. For those heading to work or school this morning, leave some extra time in your commute and use caution as overnight lows in the single digits have caused icing of all untreated surfaces.

***All Neptune Township residents and business owners are reminded that per Township ordinance, property owners must clear their sidewalks within 12 hours of daylight after the snow has stopped. Please clear your sidewalks to allow safe passage for pedestrians.***

Please continue to be patient as crews continue to work to clear the heavy snow and ice from our streets. If you have a question regarding snow removal, contact Neptune DPW at (732) 775-8797. Any parking complaints should be directed to the NTPD by calling (732) 988-8000.

We are very appreciative of neptune_uniformed_firefighters for managing and plowing our squads. But sometimes, when everyone’s asleep we still get out there and help. For the next few days while everyone is digging out from this storm please be careful, wear appropriate clothing and take frequent breaks.

Winter Storm Fern – Sunday PM Update

Sunday 1/25 6:00PM - Neptune Township OEM continues to monitor and respond to the ongoing winter storm. Plow crews have been on the road since early this morning and will continue to clear the streets throughout the night. Due to the rapid rate of snowfall this afternoon, all roads are hazardous, whether they have been plowed or not. ***All are urged to stay off the roads and allow crews time to safely clear the roads!***

Weather Update:
Over 10" of snow fell in Neptune Township before changing over to sleet. Sleet continues until about 7:00PM, then will change to all rain before all precipitation finally ends by midnight. Temperatures will drop quickly, causing all surfaces to refreeze. Additionally, gusty winds have caused large snow drifts to form, which may be difficult to see from the road.

Recommendations from NTOEM:
• Please be patient and stay off the roads! It takes an estimated 12-16 hours after the precipitation ends to clear all the roads in Neptune.
• Snow parking restrictions are still in effect through at least Monday morning. Do not move your vehicles until they are lifted.
• Use caution if you are going out to clear your property. Even though this is mostly light snow, take frequent breaks from shoveling to avoid injury and wear appropriate clothing.
• Per DPW, there will be no garbage or recycling collection on Monday.

Stay Prepared and Informed:
• For emergencies, call 9-1-1. This includes downed power lines, fallen trees, motor vehicle crashes, and all other urgent matters.
• For power outages that are not accompanied by an emergency, contact JCP&L directly at 1-888-544-4877 (1-888-LIGHTSS).

This is what community looks like. Thanks for letting us share steve!

Local neighbors — quick note ahead of the storm ❄️

This storm is bringing the kind of heavy, wet snow that can be dangerous to shovel, especially for older folks.

If you have an elderly neighbor or family member locally who may be struggling financially and could use help clearing snow, please text my emergency office line at 732-889-5773 and I’ll take care of it at no cost.

I still have a large commercial snow blower from when I was in the snow removal business for over 25 years, and I’d rather see it help someone than sit idle.

Please share if you know someone who truly needs a hand. ❤️
