Ahead of the weekend storm that could bring 8 to 16 inches of snow to the area through Monday morning, several Levittown-area municipalities have declared snow emergencies.

Below is the message from Bristol Township:

Bristol Township has declared a Snow Emergency due to a potential significant winter storm this weekend.

Effective:

12:00 AM Sunday, January 25, 2026

Through 6:00 PM Monday, January 26, 2026

Forecasts show the potential for heavy snowfall, including double-digit accumulations starting Sunday. We are issuing this notice now so you have time to prepare.

All Vehicles Must Be Off Township Streets

This is critical. Please remove all cars, trucks, boats, and trailers from all township streets before the storm begins.

Keeping streets clear allows emergency vehicles to reach residents without delay and allows Public Works to plow and treat roads safely and effectively.

Parking on grass is allowed during the Snow Emergency.

You may park vehicles on your lawn or yard without concern for code enforcement violations for the duration of the Snow Emergency.

Prepare for Severe Winter Conditions

The American Red Cross recommends the following:

Before the storm, gather food, water, and medications. Travel may be unsafe and stores may close.

Set aside at least 1 gallon of drinking water per person per day.

Have a snow shovel and ice-melting products ready for walkways.

Emergency Go-Kit: At least 3 days of supplies if you must leave home. Include backup batteries and chargers for phones and medical devices.

Stay-at-Home Kit: At least 2 weeks of supplies, including warm clothing, hats, mittens, and blankets.

Keep a blanket, warm clothing, boots, a first aid kit, and basic emergency supplies in your vehicle.

Township officials and emergency management staff are coordinating response efforts to protect public safety and restore essential services.

Please take action now, get vehicles off the streets, and monitor Bristol Township channels for updates.
