❄️ Town Hall Closure Notice

❄️ Aberdeen Township Storm Update

Approximately 9 inches of snow has been reported across Aberdeen. Our DPW crews have been out all day and will continue working throughout the storm to keep roads clear and safe.

Residents are asked to stay off the roads unless travel is necessary so plows and emergency vehicles can operate efficiently.

If you’re out shoveling or enjoying the snow, please remember to take breaks and warm up often. Cold temperatures and heavy, wet snow can be dangerous. Pace yourself while shoveling, as snow may be heavier than it looks.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe.

Temporary Off-Street Parking for Residents

To assist with snow removal operations, Aberdeen residents only may park vehicles off the street in Township park parking lots and designated municipal lots at their own risk during the storm.

Permitted parking times:
