Philly Mobilizes Massive Snow Response as Winter Storm Hits Region
Philadelphia activated a Snow Emergency as a major winter storm delivers heavy snow and strong winds; city mobilizes over 1,000 staff and 800 pieces of equipment, tracks plows via PHLPlow, and suspends certain trash/recycling collections while focusing on road clearance and public safety. Warming centers expand under Code Blue, and city offices plan to reopen the following day as residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and stay informed via phila.gov and ReadyPhiladelphia.
