Editor's Note: The following is a press release from the New York State Police.
The
New York State Police have a full complement of troopers and
supervisors assigned to all shifts in preparation of a winter storm
approaching the region.
Normal patrol coverage is being
supplemented by members from the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit and
Traffic Incident Management.
State Police are coordinating
with local County Emergency Operations Centers across the state as
needed and are prepared for the potential increase in service calls for
evacuations and medical emergencies.
State Police are advising
motorists to avoid driving during the storm if at all possible and
remind motorists if you must drive during a storm to be aware of
changing weather and roadway conditions.
Remember, bridge and
exit and entrance ramps can be icy when other road surfaces are not.
Clean all snow and ice from the entire vehicle and ensure the windshield
is clear of frost. If you do become stranded, stay with your vehicle
and in an emergency dial 911.
