Snow Alert Declared in Lansdale: What to Know

LANSDALE, PA -- As you've probably heard by now, Wednesday's blue summer skies and late spring air will not be in the area for long. A significant storm front is coming through the area, and up to 8 inches could fall in Montgomery County.

Lansdale will declare a snow alert at 4 p.m. on Wednesday until further notice. A snow alert has several implications.

Vehicles cannot park on any street where signage indicates "no parking during a snow alert" to allow for plowing.

No parking is permitted on many side streets throughout the borough as well.

Officials also wanted to remind residents that it is illegal to deposit snow removed from sidewalks into the street.

Regarding snow shoveling, here are a few points to keep in mind as you grab those shovels. According to the township code:

* The owners, agents-in-charge, tenants or occupiers of all properties in the Borough of Lansdale shall clear or cause to be cleared a pathway on the sidewalk on their respective properties in the event of snow. Such pathways shall not be less than 30 inches in width and shall be thoroughly cleared of snow and ice or covered with salt, sawdust or similar materials.
