Press release from the Township of Millburn:

January 27, 2022

According to the National Weather Service, there is an unusual amount of uncertainty in snow amounts with this storm over a day away. We could see snowfall accumulation up to 6”+, but may see the forecast change. Please follow the Township, the National Weather Service or local news channels for updated information about the storm.

Residents of Millburn and Short Hills are reminded to avoid parking vehicles on Township streets to allow for efficient plowing in case of a large snow event. Please do not shovel or plow snow into the roadway; it should instead be confined to the property behind your curbline. Residents should aim to clear snow from sidewalks within 8 hours of daylight after a storm ends. Those who live near schools should try to create safe passage as soon as possible.

Please stay off the roads during a storm unless absolutely essential.

As a reminder, residents should report any storm-related outages directly to their utility providers at the numbers listed below.
