Snowstorm Tuesday: Hudson Valley Could See 2–4 Inches of Snow and Hazardous Travel

Published

on

A developing coastal system is expected to bring the Hudson Valley its first measurable snowfall of the season on Tuesday, with forecasters warning of slippery travel, reduced visibility, and the potential for several inches of wet, heavy snow.

According to the latest local forecast, wet snow is expected throughout Tuesday, with accumulations of 5–10 centimeters (2–4 inches) possible across Rockland County and surrounding areas. Temperatures are forecast to hover near 35°F during the day before dipping to 23°F overnight, increasing the likelihood that snow will accumulate on untreated surfaces.

Regional meteorologists report that the storm is being driven by a coastal low tracking up the Eastern Seaboard—one that could drop 3 to 5 inches of snow across parts of New York and New Jersey as it moves inland. Snowfall totals will depend heavily on the storm’s final track, which remains uncertain.

Some forecasts suggest the Hudson Valley may see more substantial accumulation than New York City due to colder inland temperatures, while areas closer to the coast may experience a mix of rain and snow.

Commuters Urged to Prepare for Disruptions

The combination of falling snow and near-freezing temperatures is expected to create slippery roads, particularly during the afternoon and evening commute. Drivers are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time. If temperatures drop quickly after sunset, untreated roads and sidewalks may become icy.

Uncertainty Remains, but Impacts Likely

Forecasters caution that even slight shifts in the storm’s path could change snowfall totals, either increasing or reducing accumulation across the region. However, confidence is growing that much of the lower Hudson Valley will see at least several hours of accumulating snow.

D-Day Remembrance Day: Honoring the Allied Invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched D-Day (Normandy landings), part of Operation Overlord — the massive amphibious assault on Nazi-occupied France along the beaches of Normandy.

It became one of the largest and most consequential military operations of World War II, involving thousands of ships, aircraft, and ground troops from multiple Allied nations. The landings took place across five beaches — Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword — in a coordinated effort that would shape the course of the war in Europe.

The operation marked a decisive turning point, eventually leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The fighting on D-Day came at a tremendous cost, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded on the first day alone.

Today, D-Day is remembered not only as a major military milestone, but as a moment defined by extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and unity among ordinary people called to an extraordinary mission.

                       We honor and remember those who never made it home.

Scammers often target older adults by pretending to be family members, government agencies, banks, healthcare providers, or technical support representatives. Their goal is to create panic, gain trust, and convince victims to send money or provide personal information.

Common Scams Targeting Seniors

• Grandparent scams involving fake emergencies and urgent requests for money

• Tech support scams claiming your computer has a virus or security problem

• Fake IRS, Social Security, Medicare, or law enforcement calls

• Lottery and sweepstakes scams promising prizes in exchange for fees

• Romance scams through social media, dating websites, and messaging apps

• Bank fraud and account compromise scams

• Investment and cryptocurrency scams promising guaranteed returns

Protect Yourself

✅ Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers to someone you do not know or have not verified.

✅ Verify any urgent request by contacting a trusted family member, friend, or organization directly using a known phone number.

✅ Never provide personal, banking, Medicare, or Social Security information over the phone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient.

✅ Be cautious of callers who pressure you to act immediately, threaten consequences, or demand secrecy.

✅ Legitimate government agencies, financial institutions, and law enforcement organizations generally do not demand immediate payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or other unconventional payment methods.

✅ If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

What To Do If You Suspect a Scam

📞 Hang up the phone or end the communication.

🛑 Stop responding to calls, texts, emails, or messages from the suspected scammer.

👨‍👩‍👧 Contact a trusted family member, friend, or caregiver.
