In Manalapan, 168 homes are without power as of Monday morning, according to JCP&L. Currently, there is no estimated time of restoration listed.

Due to the storm, garbage and bulk collection for Monday has been rescheduled to Thursday in Manalapan, according to a post from the township.

Town Hall, the Senior Center, the Recreation Center and the Recycling Center are closed, with Municipal Court scheduled for Monday also cancelled and set to be rescheduled.

All vehicles should be removed from the roads so Public Works can safely clear the streets, township officials said.

For those who don’t have space in their driveways to accommodate their vehicles, the Englishtown Auction has offered to allow cars to park in their lot until the snow has stopped.

If residents use this option, they must move their vehicle within 24 hours of the end of the storm to allow for their lots to be cleared and plowed, officials said.

Any vehicles found left in the roadway during the snow removal process will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. If you see cars parked on your street during the storm, you can call 732-446-4300 so it can be addressed.

“Emergency Operations have begun as our personnel manage the snow and blizzard conditions in Manalapan Township,” township officials said Sunday evening. “Please stay off the roads and allow township emergency employees to safely clear the roads and respond to any emergencies. This will be a long-duration, large accumulating, dangerous storm.”
