Original Story, Saturday Afternoon:

Snow is the last thing folks may think about when it comes to October, but with flurries the storm is as powerful as any.

Hundreds of customers throughout New Castle and Mount Kisco (1,865 and 271), respectively) are without power as of 5:33 p.m., according to Con Edison. There was a report of a downed tree along Route 100 in Millwood, the 511 NY service tweets. The service also reported a downed tree disrupting the Saw Mill River Parkway in Mount Kisco.

The situation has gotten to the point where both municipalities have had to declare snow emergenices. New Castle's took effect at 3 p.m. on Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday, while Mount Kisco's runs from 8 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday. In both communities, on-street parking is banned under penalty of getting ticketed, in order to give plows more room to operate. Parking is free in municipal Mount Kisco lots during the snow emergency.
