The largest snowstorm in a decade<\/a> just hit the Philadelphia area, closing schools and coating the roads with a sheen of slippery white stuff. <\/p>\n

Trash and recycling will not be picked up today in Lower Merion<\/a>, and a holiday schedule will go into effect. To figure out when your garbage will be picked up, use the township\u2019s address lookup tool<\/a> to determine what zone you live in. Then, use this chart<\/a> to determine your holiday garbage pickup day. If you live in Zone 3, your garbage will be picked up on Thursday following today\u2019s Monday snow \u201choliday.\u201d <\/p>\n

The township has asked residents<\/a> to bring their trash curbside because garbage trucks may not be able to get into alleys with the high volume of snow. Any missed collections from this week will be made up next week. <\/p>\n

Narberth<\/a> residents can expect their normally scheduled trash pickup on Tuesday and Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Sidewalks must be cleared (36 inches in width) within 24 hours of the last flakes falling in both Lower Merion and Narberth (here are The Inquirer\u2019s tips for shoveling snow safely<\/a>). It\u2019s illegal to throw or plow snow into the street. <\/p>\n

The Lower Merion School District has declared today a remote instruction day (rest in peace to the snow day<\/a>), and all libraries and township offices are closed. <\/p>\n

Narberth Borough\u2019s administrative offices are also closed, and any documents that need to be dropped off can be left in the secure lockboxes outside the building entrance on Haverford<\/a> Avenue. Narberth Borough Hall\u2019s multipurpose room will be open until 8 p.m. for residents who need access to heat, water, and power. <\/p>\n

Waldron Mercy Academy, Friends\u2019 Central School, the Baldwin School, Agnes Irwin School, Holy Child School at Rosemont, and Gladwyne<\/a> Montessori, and the Shipley School are closed. Merion Mercy Academy is having a remote learning day. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Coffee with a Cop<\/a> has been rescheduled to Wednesday. <\/p>\n
