Snow Brings Down Trees and Power Lines

Record setting levels of heavy wet snow have closed schools and roads and even sections of Metro North today. A downed tree on the rails between White Plains and Hartsdale has delayed commuter service to the city – however there are trains in service on a special storm schedule that you can access here:

Scarsdale Police report many downed trees and power lines and many residents have no power. Lieutenant Bryant Clark of the Scarsdale Police asks that residents refrain from driving until roads can be cleared of wires and trees.

The good news is that the White Plains Post Road and all major thoroughfares are open and passable. The Hutchinson River Parkway and Route 287 are both clear and traffic is moving.

According to reports from the Scarsdale Police and residents there are downed wires, branches and trees with some power outages at the following locations:

• Boulevard
• Brewster Road, tree down at Sage and wire down between Huntington and Kingston
