Snow Emergency Still In Effect In Abington

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A snow emergency remains in effect as the township digs out from a winter storm that brought heavy snow accumulations to the region.

The Abington Township Police Department declared a Snow Emergency from noon on Saturday until noon on Tuesday.

Police said that plow operations are underway throughout the township. Anyone who does not need to be on the roads should stay off them so public works crews can work safely, police said.

The township is plowing curb-to-curb. If a truck goes down the street to open it, it will be back to finish.

Not only were public works crews out plowing, but police officers lent a hand too.

"Our officers are out helping residents and motorists in need, from assisting stranded cars to checking on neighbors who may need a hand," police said. "We know winter storms can be challenging, so please do your best to stay safe and avoid traveling unless necessary. Another huge thank you to Abington Public Works and to our residents for looking out for one another. This is what makes Abington such a strong and caring community."
