Here is the Hudson Valley's Weather Forecast and Update For Dutchess County

 

Effective 8 p.m. this evening, Dutchess County Executive William F.X. O'Neil will rescind his earlier Executive Order from Monday, March 13th, and there will be no more travel restrictions.

Driving, however, is not advisable until tomorrow morning, as wind gusts have knocked down numerous trees and power lines throughout the county; sub-freezing temperatures overnight will likely lead to icy roads and slippery driving conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, and additional downed trees and lines.

County Executive O'Neil said, "We thank residents throughout Dutchess County for heeding our request to stay off the roads to allow our dedicated Department of Public Works crews to clear those roads. This has been a challenging storm, extending over a long period of time, and we thank residents for their patience and cooperation in helping crews keep our roadways passable."

Dutchess County Government offices are scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, March 15th, operating under normal business hours.

Dutchess County Public Transit (DCPT) will resume normal weekday service on Wednesday, March 15th. For updates on service, bus passengers can visit dutchessny.gov/publictransit or the DCPT mobile app.

Crews from the Dutchess County Department of Public Works (DPW) have been ahead of the storm since its beginning – plowing, treating and salting County roads since 1 a.m. Tuesday; those crews will continue to treat and salt County roads throughout this evening, as icy conditions are expected.
