Snow emergency declared in West Reading

It may not look like much right now, but the snow falling today (and predicted to continue well into tonight) has prompted West Reading Mayor Shane Keller to declare a snow emergency for the borough until further notice, according to the borough's Web site.

What this means for residents (and anyone who drivers into West Reading, really) is parking is now completely banned on certain streets. The complete list of snow emergency routes can be found here.

The neighboring borough of Wyomissing has no snow emergency routes, but in West Reading drivers who ignore parking restrictions do so at their own peril. Just keep that in mind.
