Seven Inches and a Two-Hour Delay in Scarsdale

In our neck of the dale it looks like we got about seven inches of light powder from the winter storm that hit the East Coast on January 21. The snow began at 9:30 am Tuesday morning and tapered off sometime during the night bringing a blanket of white as well as frigid temperatures and gusty winds.

This morning Scarsdale is digging out with the thermometer measuring just two degrees. Brrrrr. Schools will be on a two-hour delay and students who are eligible for district transportation will be picked up two hours later than their usual time.

According to Benny Salanitro, Scarsdale Superintendent of Public Works, "Crews have plowed and salted all roads in the Village. Commuter sidewalks and those adjacent to school buildings have been plowed as well. Due to the cold weather, which makes de-icers less effective, many roads are slippery and may have some snow pack. Residents are advised to use caution and allow for extra time in their travels today." Scarsdale Village Hall is open.

The Community Budget forum scheduled for Wednesday will be held next Wednesday, January 29 at 10am at the Girl Scout House on Wayside Lane.
