SNOW....again!!

The NWS has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Tuesday Afternoon into Wed. afternoon for another significant snowfall. NWS Snowfall forecast map link below:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/phi/StormTotalSnow/index.php
(Currently showing 16+” for our area)

The system approaching from the west will combine with another storm and travel across southern PA and southern NJ. Delaware is forecasted to receive 6-12 inches. NCC is going to be in the higher areas of that forecast. This should be an all snow event for NCC and we are just south of the center of this storm, which has the potential to bring 12-20 inches.

**Several IMPORTANT things to remember**

Remember to clear snow away from appliance vents located outside your residence. This will help ensure the proper operation of heaters, water heaters, natural gas fireplaces, clothes dryers and gas and electric meters.
Snow accumulation could potentially hamper the proper and safe operation of direct-vent appliances that expel products of combustion (such as carbon monoxide) to the outdoors. Many modern homes have high-efficiency heaters and water heaters with exterior vents placed only 12 inches above the ground. All vented appliances require an uninterrupted supply of fresh air and a clear exhaust path in order to work properly and safely. Blowing and drifting snow can block the intake and exhaust vents, forcing appliances to automatically shut down and possibly causing serious damage.

Most appliances have automatic shut-offs that may indicate a problem with the venting system. If you are experiencing problems with direct-vent equipment or appliances, check to be sure exhaust vents are clear.

It is important to clear the snow from around the fire hydrants and make a path from the street to the hydrant. Clear the snow all the way to the ground so that there is room to turn the wrench when removing the cap. The time that this would save the responders is crucial. A little extra effort on everyone's part could be the difference in saving lives and property
