Here is Hoboken's briefing from Monday evening:

The National Weather Service's winter weather advisory is in effect for Hoboken and the surrounding area tonight, Jan. 15, until 1 p.m. tomorrow, Jan. 16. Mixed precipitation with a total snowfall accumulation of 3 to 4 inches is predicted.

Residents are encouraged to limit travel if possible during the storm and to exercise caution while driving as low temperatures could lead to icy conditions.

Street Cleaning Suspended & Pantry Distribution Postponed

Street cleaning on Tuesday, Jan. 16, has been suspended. All other parking regulations will remain in effect.

Emergency snow routes are not anticipated to be in effect during the storm.

The Hoboken Community Center’s Jan. 16 Personal Care Pantry (Hygiene program) distribution has been postponed. The distribution has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, Jan. 24, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Hoboken Community Center, 1301 Washington St.

Keep Sidewalks & Curb Ramps Clear

While the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, & Public Works will salt and plow streets, if necessary, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have 6 hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts.

Residents are urged to assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow from their properties.

It is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.

The City performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements. While the majority of property owners comply with the safety regulations, the City will issue fines to those who do not keep sidewalks clear.

To report an unshoveled sidewalk, please email sanitationinspectors@hobokennj.gov.
