A State of Emergency was issued by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for some counties in the Hudson Valley following Wednesday’s snowstorm.
During a press briefing in Ulster County on Thursday, Dec. 17, Cuomo announced in Kingston that 18 counties across the state have been placed under a State of Emergency to “allow local government and the state government more flexibility.”
Among the 18 counties were Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster, which all saw around a foot or more of snow, potentially with more on the way, Cuomo warned.
“There are a lot of people working very hard today to clear those roads, so if you don’t have to be on the roads, please don’t travel today,” Cuomo said in the Hudson Valley. “We expect another four or five inches to come down before it leaves the state around one or two o’clock.”
