Winter Storm and State of Emergency
New York State has been under a state of emergency since Friday due to the extreme cold and the significant winter storm expected to impact our area today. With the heaviest snowfall anticipated over the course of today, we want to check in, offer guidance, and ensure everyone feels supported and prepared.
Please take every precaution as conditions worsen throughout the day. A few important reminders and tips:
- Stay indoors whenever possible. Freezing temperatures and strong winds can create dangerous conditions in minutes.
- Avoid unnecessary travel. Roads may become hazardous quickly and visibility can drop without warning. If you must travel, ensure you pack food, water, and blankets.
- Prepare for potential power disruptions. Keep phones charged, gather flashlights, and have blankets accessible.
Please note that office hours for tomorrow will depend on weather and road conditions. Our priority is the safety of both residents and staff.
Storms like this can be stressful, but our community has always shown resilience and care for one another. Thank you for your patience, your cooperation, and your commitment to staying safe.
Wishing each of you warmth, comfort, and peace as we get through this winter weather together. Stay safe, stay indoors, and take good care of yourselves.
