1 ****Approaching Winter Storm **** 02/12/2013 The Flemington Borough Office of Emergency Management is currently monitoring the incoming winter storm expected to impact our area starting Thursday morning February 12, 2014 at approximately 1:00am and continuing into early Friday morning February The Office of Emergency Management has tentatively scheduled to declare a Local State of Emergency starting February 13, 2014 at 0600 hrs. SUMMARY: A strong coastal storm system will impact the region starting tonight & continuing into Thursday. Heavy snow, sleet, and coastal flooding are all threats from this storm. 10+ inches of snow are expected where the heaviest snow band sets up. Much of the region will see at least some snow. Snow will start later this evening, after the afternoon/evening commute. Warnings & advisories have been posted. Icing due to freezing rain no longer appears to be a major threat from this event. However, heavy wet snow will cling to trees and wires. Strong winds will be an issue with this event as the storm intensifies along the coast. Gusts up to 50 mph are possible along the coast, with gusts in the 20 to 35 mph range inland from late tonight through most of Thursday. This will cause added stress to power lines and tree limbs covered with heavy snow. Snowfall starts later this evening and continues into Thursday. Heaviest snow will fall during the late overnight hours into Thursday morning. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible late tonight into Thursday morning. This will be a wet, heavy snow that will cling to trees and wires. Temperatures on Thursday will range from the upper 20s far north to mid 30s south. Cold but not bitter cold. This may help with road conditions.

2 Please don t not travel unless absolutely necessary. In the event of a medical emergency dial Freezing rain no longer seems to pose a major threat during this event. However, there will be some sleet with this event. LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY: What this allows is for: 1. Parking restrictions on all Borough roadways 2. The ability to remove vehicles hindering any snow removal operations 3. The ability for the Borough police to tow or ticket any vehicle in violation of this order: - Vehicles not complying with the snow parking ordinance will be ticketed. If vehicles are not moved within two hours of the vehicle being issued a summons they will be towed at the owners expensive to allow the Department of Public Works to clear the roads. 4. The ability to impose travel restrictions as needed. 5. The ability to obtain road salt outside of contractual regulations. EVACUATIONS: There are currently no evacuations ordered for our area at this time. SHELTERS: No Shelters are currently open or required at this time. As of right now in the event of Power loss residence are advised to shelter in place as heavy snow condition may hinder responders being able to get to them for an extended period of time to move them to a shelter.
