Widespread Snow Late Tonight-Tuesday
📢 Winter Storm Alert for Township Residents 12/1/25
A significant winter weather event is expected to impact our region on Tuesday, bringing widespread plowable snowfall and the potential for hazardous driving conditions. Please take steps now to prepare and plan accordingly.
❄️ Forecast & Expected Conditions
Widespread plowable snowfall across the region with 3–8 inches expected. The heaviest snow is forecast between 6:00 AM and 3:00 PM Tuesday.
While several inches of snow are expected township-wide, narrow bands of heavier snowfall are possible, with some uncertainty in exact placement between the NY/PA border and the Poconos/Catskills region. Roads may become slick and hazardous. Reduced visibility is likely during periods of heavier snowfall.
🚗 Travel & Safety Reminders
If possible, avoid unnecessary travel during the storm, particularly during the late morning and early afternoon when snowfall is expected to be heaviest.
If travel is unavoidable, use caution: drive slowly, allow for extra stopping distance, and be alert for ice and reduced visibility.
Make sure vehicles are fueled, wipers functioning, and emergency kits stocked.
Township Operations & Updates
Public works crews will be monitoring conditions and will respond as needed.

Cuts to federal food-assistance programs, Pennsylvania’s budget impasse, the federal government shutdown, inflation, and increased grocery prices have combined to create a perfect storm hitting our local food pantries, leaving our most vulnerable neighbors—including the 6,700+ people in Pike County who rely on SNAP to feed their families—at risk of going hungry.

West Nile Virus Activity Detected in Delaware Township
West Nile Virus Activity Detected in Delaware Township
8/12/25
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Vector Management has reported 1 mosquito sample testing positive for West Nile Virus in Marcel Lake Estates, Delaware Township. Additional mosquito surveillance, sampling, larval control, and adult mosquito controls are being performed as necessary by County Mosquito-borne Disease Control staff.
We recommend residents take time to inspect their yards and take a few minutes to clean up and dump out any sources of stagnant water. Mosquito surveillance indicates that many common mosquito species in residential areas come from artificial containers left behind by humans. Artificial containers such as tires, buckets, child toys, tarps, and even swimming pools are preferred by mosquitoes because natural predators that prey on mosquito larvae are not present. During periods of drought, these containers continue to hold water and produce mosquitoes. One bucket or tire in someone’s backyard can produce hundreds to thousands of mosquitoes in a year. Performing a community-wide cleanup will also help reduce mosquito concerns and disease risk. Storm-water management systems can sometimes contribute to mosquito issues and are also routinely monitored by our staff.
May through October, mosquitoes can complete their life cycle within five to seven days. Residents should use repellents when spending time outside, a variety of which could be found at most home and garden centers. For individuals who don’t like to use repellents, we recommend taking an electric fan outside with you. Mosquitoes are weak flyers and the fan will help keep them away. As a last resort, residents can purchase insecticides from garden and hardware stores to spray in their yard but they need to be sure to follow the label instructions.
Residents can contact The Monroe County Mosquito-borne Disease Control Program by calling 570-517-3416 or email
