Although the Township of Wyckoff has been placed under the National Weather Service’s Winter Storm Warning advisory, Wyckoff’s municipal administrator says they are prepared.

“We’ve been preparing for a pretty definite snow storm for ... days now,” said Municipal Administrator Bob Shannon, who also met with the Department of Public Works’ manager to discuss storm preparations.

Wyckoff’s DPW has “an adequate supply of salt, ... [well] maintained trucks ... and plows [that are] ready” for Wednesday’s winter storm, which is supposed to accumulate 6 to 10 inches of snow throughout the northern part of the state.

Shannon says the township has been watching weather reports and have tested salters, too.

“They are ready,” Shannon said of the DPW.
