As of the latest National Weather Service report, 11.2 inches of snow have fallen around Cranford.

Drivers should still stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary.

According to the Township, Cranford residents are responsible for shoveling their own snow and ice on sidewalks and corners around properties within 12 hours of accumulation.

If snow or ice hardens, ashes, sawdust, or sand must be used within a four-hour window. Once thawed, the ground must then be cleared within the following four hours.

Fire hydrants should be cleared from at least three feet around and with a clear path to the street.

The Cranford Municipal Building, Cranford Public Library, Cranford YMCA, and all of Cranford Schools are closed on Monday. The Community Center at 220 Walnut Ave. and the Recreation Center at 375 Centennial Ave. are also closed.

Recycling pickup that was scheduled for Monday has been rescheduled for Friday.
