NYS Ready for the Snow

   Governor Cuomo is preparing the state for another hit from the snow on its way. Plans have already been made to close major parts of the I-90 and I-190 starting at 12:00 a.m. tonight. Cuomo said New York State has prepared a total of 1,793 plows, 4,184 plow drivers, 55 front-end loaders and nearly 500,000 tons of salt in preparation for the snow. He activated the emergency operations center to monitor the storm and storm response. This sends out a message of relief to Western New Yorkers who had bad experiences regarding the last storm. Knowing that precautions are being taken before the storm hits rather then after can make such a difference in situations such as driving accidents, stranded people outside and in cars, lack of supplies, and assistance and responders. 
  This is a step in the right direction of avoiding the obvious and that is very reassuring!

  1. I'm glad he made plans ahead. Do you think he could've made any more preparations for the storm now that it's over?
