Remove Cars From Road, Bad Weather Expected In Verona: Officials

VERONA, NJ — Verona officials are asking residents to remove their vehicles from the roads amid forecasts of a possible winter storm this week.

The Verona Police Department issued the following advisory at 2:51 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29:

“No overnight parking permitted due to weather. Remove all vehicles from roadway. Use municipal lots if necessary.”

On Tuesday, Gov. Phil Murphy announced that state government offices will start closing on a "rolling basis" because of a winter storm that's expected to impact New Jersey.

Murphy said he directed state government offices to close on a rolling basis beginning at 1:30 p.m. He said it was "not an easy decision to make" but the governor said he was preparing for a storm that will produce more than snow.

Murphy noted that temperatures are supposed to drop, and strong winds will blow, creating potential havoc for commuters on icy, slippery roads.
