Somers, Yorktown's Snowstorm: Snow Emergency Lifted in Yorktown

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, Yorktown had had 7.5 inches dumped on it by 1 p.m.

The Snow Emergency has been lifted in Yorktown, but police remind everyone to be careful as sidewalks and roads may be slippery.

Dealing with power issues, Con Ed advises:

DO NOT touch a fallen power line or any other electrical equipment. Keep children and pets away from all fallen wires. If you see downed power lines or fallen wires please contact ConEd immediately at 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).

If a power line falls on a car or vehicle you’re in, don’t get out, and don’t touch anything outside it. The vehicle’s rubber tires will provide insulation and protect you until help arrives. Wait for police, fire, or emergency service workers.

DO NOT touch or try to fix any power lines, electrical equipment, or wires on your own. If you notice a problem, call 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).

NYSEG tips:

Weather storms by preparing ahead of time. Once the power is out, you may not be able to view our safety tips, so download a copy of our reference, Weathering Storm Emergencies (PDF), print it out, and have it handy when storms are on the horizon.

Avoid downed power lines. Even lines that appear dead can be deadly. NYSEG customers should call 1.800.572.1131 to report downed power lines or other hazardous situations. Refrain from removing tree debris as downed power lines may be entangled in them.
