The following are announcements that have been sent to Action News.
PHILADELPHIA
A Snow Emergency will be declared for the City of Philadelphia beginning at 6 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, February 18, 2021.
A Snow Emergency means all parked vehicles must be moved off Snow Emergency routes for plowing. When moving your car, park as far from the corner of the street as possible; vehicles parked too close to the corner get in the way of snowplows trying to turn corners.
Snow Emergency information and a map of Snow Emergency routes can be found HERE. Vehicles left on Snow Emergency routes will be moved to other parking spots to assist in snow plowing operations. If your car is moved, call 215-686-SNOW (7669), and press option 4, to find it. Do NOT call 911.

The American Heart Association is reminding Twin Tiers residents to take precautions as they attempt to clear snow from driveways and sidewalks.
Heart attacks spike following major snow events. Be sure to take frequent breaks, lift with your knees and take smaller shovel-fulls to avoid over exertion. Bob Joseph/WNBF News [file][/caption]People with existing heart and lung issues should be extra careful and consider asking for help in clearing walks and driveways.
Piles of snow left at the bottom of driveways by passing municipal snow plows can be especially problematic as they are more difficult to move. Again, health officials say the work should be broken down in intervals with frequent breaks.
