The City of Hoboken is asking residents to keep sidewalks clear and limit travel due to winter weather anticipated this evening through Sunday night.
By John Heinis/Hudson County View
The city and their Office of Emergency Management (OEM) are monitoring forecasts which predict winter weather for our area, starting Saturday, Jan. 6 at 6 p.m. thorough Sunday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. Snow of up to 2 inches and rain is possible, a Nixle alert said.
As a result, residents are encouraged to limit travel during the storm and keep sidewalks and curbs clear.
While the City’s Department of Environmental Services will salt and plow streets, if necessary, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have six hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts.
Residents are urged to assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow from their properties, with the city reminding them that it is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.
The city performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements, which are subject to fines.
To report an unshoveled sidewalk, please email sanitationinspectors@hobokennj.gov.

Once again, they can’t even get a simple weather forecast correct over 12 hours.
So now, obey and surrender your gas stove, car, and home for the “good” of what they say and don’t forget to take as many experimental injections they deem necessary. Be a good sheep (D) bahhhh.
