A skirting nor-easter coming through – expect winds, some snow

Posted on 21 January 2016 by Editor

Forecast uncertainty. That big weekend snow has been hard to figure out. The weather squall line is right along Rockland County.

At this moment… areas most likely to miss this storm entirely, would be anyone from Kingston, on northward. Those most likely to see some accumulating snowfall, would be anyone from I-84 on south.

But the critical point to take home from this afternoon’s update… is that a very small shift of the track (just 30 to 50 miles) would result in dramatic changes to the forecast for the Hudson Valley.

Posted on 14 January 2016 by Editor

Soon now the biography room at the Sloatsburg Public Library will undergo a complete makeover. While adjusting a bare shelf Wednesday afternoon, Library Manager Annmarie McAnany discovered a book caught between the shelf and wall.
