Snow Emergency Ends In Norristown

NORRISTOWN, PA — The snow emergency in Norristown has ended Monday afternoon at 1:15 p.m., the municipality announced.

That means that parking enforcement on snow emergency routes has been lifted, and residents are allowed to park in their normal spots. Vehicles parked in the Cherry Street garage must be moved by 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Plowing will continue along regular routes on Tuesday, officials said.

Trash pickup will resume on a holiday schedule.

About 13 inches of snow fell in Norristown in the blizzard, one of the most significant winter storms the area has seen in years.

Snow plows and salt trucks have been out since Saturday preparing the roads and then clearing snow as swiftly as possible.

"Once snowfall ends, crews will transition to salting operations, which are expected to continue through the afternoon," the municipality shared. "Between the temperature, salting, and daylight, road conditions should continue to improve."

The snow is particularly wet and heavy, making plowing and clearing more difficult.

Residents are reminded to clear their walkways, sidewalks in front of their property, and areas around snowplows as soon as they are able.

More snow is possible Tuesday night as another front moves into the area. Details here.
