February 21, 2026 — A Blizzard Warning has been issued for the area from 10 a.m. Sunday through 6 p.m. Monday, with forecasters predicting snowfall totals between 12 and 20 inches and the heaviest accumulation expected overnight Sunday. Local fire officials are urging residents to take proactive safety measures to protect their families and homes ahead of the storm. Authorities recommend testing smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, clearing a three-foot radius around fire hydrants with a clear path to the street, and ensuring hydrants are not blocked by vehicles. Residents are also advised to fully charge electronic and medical devices, clear snow from furnace, dryer, and appliance exhaust vents to prevent dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, and carefully remove snow and ice from gas meters using a broom to avoid damage. Officials stress that portable generators must be operated outdoors in well-ventilated areas and used in accordance with safety guidelines. Staying off the roads is strongly encouraged to allow snow removal crews and first responders safe access; however, those who must travel should allow extra time and check road conditions by dialing 5-1-1. Residents are reminded to call 9-1-1 only for emergencies to ensure dispatch lines remain open for critical incidents. Additional weather updates are available through the U.S. National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly, and local updates may be found through township public safety agencies.
