The rain from yesterday combined with a surprise snowstorm last night have made for a bit of nutsiness this morning. There are multiple school delays, road closures, car accidents, and a travel advisory issued for Delaware County until noon today. Via Twitter, Kitty Sheehan reports that even her cell service seems unusually busy:
Anyone else in #HudsonValley or #Rhinebeck having trouble making a phone call on landline or cell? "All circuits are busy."
Here's a quick roundup of trouble spots:
- In Delaware County, there is a travel advisory until noon, and Basin Clove Road in Hamden and County Route 18 near Fitches Bridge are closed due to flooding, according to NY-Alert. The Daily Star is reporting that conditions are hell on driving right now:
Sidney troopers reported the main weather-related events in Delaware County on Sunday were cars off the roads, with "too many to count."
- Ulster County has several road closures, according to the Daily Freeman and the Times Herald-Record. Expect trouble on:
Rt 209 in Accord
Rt 213 in Eddyville
Rt 299 in New Paltz
- In Sullivan County, according to the Catskill Chronicle, there is minor flooding along State Route 97:
The Delaware River is high but it is not an immediate problem. However, there are a few low spots that are flooding along SR 97 but not blocking the road. Jeffersonville, Livingston Manor, and Roscoe have some minor flooding and the water continues to rise.
