As of today, we only have the last 46% of winter ahead of us. We've gotten through most of it so far!

Admin Note: Huge thanks to the two Town of Poughkeepsie police officers who were incredibly helpful in the rescue of a cat, that I discovered collapsed in the middle of a long stretch of road last night. It's wonderful to witness that sort of compassion.

How much snow did you end up getting in your part of the Hudson Valley?

If you know of someone who may be unable to shovel out their walkway or car - if you can, please consider taking a few moments to help them shovel out. A simple act of kindness can make someone's day a whole lot brighter; maybe even help keep them safer! We're all here together.

Know of someone in the snow removal profession that you'd recommend to the members of our community? Feel free to share their service area, the sort of service they offer (snow blowing, plowing, shoveling), followed by any relevant contact information (name, phone number, site, etc), here!
