MORRIS COUNTY, NJ —A Super Bowl Sunday snowstorm dropped as much as eight inches of snow on parts of Morris County, and another one to three inches are in the forecast for Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. As a result, local municipalities have changed parking rules and made other snow-related requests. In Morristown, the Parking Authority and the Town have permitted residents who park on-street and/or have on-street parking permits to park in garages at no charge until 9 a.m. Thursday. The participating garages are: Dalton Garage at Cattano AvenueDeHart Street Garage (very limited availability)Ann/Bank Parking Garage HQ's Parking Garage (exit hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and must see an attendant at the exit) Those using the garages, will have their parking fee waived by presenting a driver's license as proof of Morristown residency upon exiting the garage. Also, parking fees may be issued if vehicles are moved after the vehicle removal date and time and if the owner is a non-resident of Morristown. Snow removal is in progress in Morristown. Between 10 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday, there will be No Parking on Speedwell Ave. (Route 202) from Early Street to Henry Street. In Chester Township, Chatham and Parsippany-Troy Hills, residents are asked to help keep fire hydrants accessible by removing snow and ice and clearing a wide enough perimeter around the hydrant (3 feet) for firefighters to work. There also should be a path from the hydrant to the street. As a reminder, Fire Prevention would like to remind citizens to clear hydrants near their homes. This action helps the departments immensely, and could be what helps save your home or your neighbor's home.
