Skippack Township, Montgomery County has issued a Snow Emergency Declaration effective at Noon on Saturday, January 24th, 2026, until further notice.
Public Works will battle the snow with trucks, plows, and heavy equipment. This Winter Storm is anticipated to produce over 12 inches (or more) of snow, freezing rain, sleet, and ice. Residents should be prepared for power outages and utility disruptions. Extremely cold temperatures will remain after the snow stops.
What a Snow Emergency means for our residents:
- No Parking is allowed on designated Snow Emergency Routes and cul-de-sacs.
- Vehicles using these routes must have snow tires or chains.
The list of Snow Emergency routes can be found HERE
- Please move all cars off the street to make room for the snowplows and all emergency vehicles. Any vehicle parked, stalled, incapable of moving or left unattended on any street, may be towed. Each resident's effort helps our overall community.
- Road conditions will be dangerous due to a mix of snow and ice. Please stay off the roads and limit driving.
- Please be patient for your neighborhood/development to be plowed as major roads are the highest priority.
- In case of an emergency, call 911
- Recommended emergency supplies: food, water, flashlight, batteries, phone chargers, first aid kit, extra pet food, fire extinguisher, and extra blankets. Refill prescriptions before the storm if possible.
- Do not run generators/gas grills inside, they produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that will kill you. Do not use ovens and stoves to heat your home.
- Keep exhaust vents for natural gas appliances like water heaters, furnaces and fireplaces clear of snow and ice to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
- Report all power outages to PECO at 800-841-4141. Do not call 911 to report a power outage unless there is a life-threatening emergency.
- Do not drive over downed powerlines as they can still be energized.
- No person shall deposit snow upon any street.
- Check on elderly neighbors and friends during the storm as they may need extra help.
In advance, your cooperation is appreciated. Stay safe and stay warm.
