Ulster County is under a State of Emergency until 8PM on Tuesday. Hein advised residents to stay off the roads to allow Department of Public Works and emergency responders to safely do their jobs.

"My first and foremost goal is the safety of all Ulster County residents. Our DPW crews are already prepared and I am certain they will meet any challenge head on," Hein said in the press release. “Residents should remain off the roads throughout the duration of the storm and be prepared with emergency items such as food, water, and batteries."
