Cortlandt, Peekskill's Snowstorm: Forecast for Sunday

The snowstorm that crippled much of the East Coast will be gone (and good riddance).

The good news is that on Sunday temperatures will be in the mid 30s and skies will be mostly sunny.

The bad news is that everyone has to clean up. And there’s quite a bit to clean up. According to the National Weather Service, Peekskill had already had 9.0 inches dumped on the city by 2 p.m.

Town officials urged patience and caution while Cortlandt Highway Department crews plowed.

“We urge residents to stay off of the roadways during the storm until conditions improve,” Cortlandt Town Supervisor Linda Puglisi said on Facebook. “As a reminder, parking is prohibited on all Town roads overnight during the winter months and during snow plowing operations.”

As of 11AM, the National Weather Service predicted accumulation of 11-17 inches locally.
