This will serve as a storm update effective 8:15PM Sunday. Snow began falling around 3:00pm with approximately 4 to 5 inches of accumulation in Town of Clarkstown as of this post. According to the Clarkstown Police Department call volume has been low but we have had at least four storm related accidents thus far, none with injuries. The roads are snow covered the Highway Department is out clearing roads and keeping up with the snowfall. However, if you do not need to be out please stay off the roads so highway can do its job. The forecast calls for snow into the early morning hours with additional accumulations likely. Monday promises to be very cold and thus we will be out salting and clearing as icing conditions will be possible. We will post further updates as the storm progresses.
