SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY (January 20, 2012) – Sullivan County Manager David Fanslau has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 10:00 p.m. on January 20 though 1:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon January 21, 2012.
Fanslau said, "The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow, sleet, and spotty freezing rain, which is in effect from 10:00 PM this evening through 1:00 PM Saturday afternoon. Steadier snow will overspread the region from west to east by late evening, generally between 9:00 PM and 12:00 midnight. The heaviest snow should occur during the early morning hours on Saturday. The snow should then taper off by midday on Saturday.”
“A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet, or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. The traveling public should be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
“County residents are also urged to have enough flashlights and extra batteries, canned goods and bottled water for 48 hours, in case of power outage or emergency. Residents are encouraged to make arrangements to check on elderly neighbors, and arrange for pets to be housed either inside, or with proper shelter.
“During the storm all County residents are urged to remain indoors and off roadways whenever possible. If residents must drive, they are advised to exercise extreme caution when driving through this storm.
“Sullivan County officials are taking appropriate action, to ensure all precautionary measures are being taken, and implementing contingency plans to respond to the demands of the storm. County officials will remain in contact with the towns, village and volunteer first-responders throughout the storm, as they monitor the situations in their own communities.
“Residents and visitors are urged to visit the County website, http://www.co.sullivan.ny.us, for current news and information. Also, please keep checking the NWS Binghamton website for updates as well as local news outlets for local closings."
