Bensalem lies quiet under a blanket of 14 inches of snow. Schools are closed, Township offices are closed, and tonight’s Council meeting is cancelled.
Quiet, but for the sounds of shoveling and plowing (depending on where you live).
We have been getting emails about downed trees in areas all over Bensalem. Strong winds are expected through the day.
If you have a Township tree down near you, contact the Public Works Department at 215-633-3980.
- Township roads: 215-633-3980 or 215-633-3733
- PennDOT roads: 215-345-6060
- Non-emergencies: 215-633-3700
- Emergencies: 911
And please, as the Bensalem Township Fire Rescue Department reminds us,
- Stay off the roads unless it’s an emergency
- Check on your neighbors — especially seniors
- Charge your devices and have emergency supplies ready
- If you must travel, carry a winter safety kit
Finally, take care of yourself. Don’t try to shovel yourself out all at once. Take a couple of passes at it and take a break in between.
