Nanuet's Weather: Snow, Rain Storms, Arctic Blast

NANUET, NY — A little snowstorm Monday brought one to two inches of snow to many Hudson Valley communities across Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.

"This is a minor winter event… but the first few of the season always generate the biggest headaches, as many of us re-learn how to handle the winter weather," said Alex Marra of Hudson Valley Weather.
