Ridgewood Public Schools will have a delayed opening today as well as the Village Hall and The Stable and will have a 9:30 a.m delayed opening .
While the Blizzard came in a bit short of the 18-24 inches of snow totals expected, snow rian and sleet and dangerous winds led to white out conditions.
The Ridgewood Police reported that heavy wet snow took down some trees, taking powers lines with them. Racetrack road was closed between route 17 and northern Parkway for a transformer on fire in the roadway. Power outages were reported in the area. Public service has been notified.
Heights and Phelps was closed while a tree was removed .
Ridgewood Fire department reminds you that If you should lost power during the storm and needed to use a portable generator, please use it with care and according to the instructions for that device.
Heard a great Shoveling tip yesterday, spray PAM on the shovel blade before shoveling.The Snow slides right off and doesn’t stick.

And of coarse a huge shout out to the village employees today. Thank you!!
Berkshire and South Pleasant could use some salt….just sayin’.
All the roads could use salt! Even schools are sheets of ice and still mounds of snow. Sidewalks not cleared. Should have been no school today too. Just sayin.
Van Dien is a mess…
Heather – get those sanding trunks out…!
Brining the roads is kind of silly when you expect to get 2+ inches…
