2007 Winter Snow Storm

(Newburgh)-It was beginning to look a lot like winter as last week’s Valentines Day Nor’Eastern dropped layers upon layers of snow and ice over everything in sight. Local schools and businesses throughout the Hudson Valley were closed due to extremely hazardous conditions, as even the most traveled roads were slippery and unsafe.

Those who decided to forge ahead during the winter storm were advised to take it slow and to leave their home with enough time to get to their destination without rushing.

Although local snow plows worked diligently, due to inclimate weather minor accidents were reported. Snow emergency vehicles worked throughout the day and into the evening, providing assistance to anyone that was in need.
