‘Superwoman’ Takes ‘Legendary’ Ride To Protect Hudson Valley, Upstate New York

A woman is getting praise for her "legendary" and "creative" way to get to work in the Hudson Valley to help out Upstate New York residents.

Before this week's big nor'easter all of the Hudson Valley, besides the extreme Lower Hudson Valley, was under a State of Emergency. In fact, the State of Emergency was issued for over half of New York State.

State Of Emergency For Albany, Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange, Oswego, Otsego, Putnam, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Yates counties

Empire State residents living in counties with the State of Emergency were told to stay home and not to drive.

"This storm will create hazardous road conditions through Wednesday morning, and I encourage New Yorkers in impacted regions to stay home and avoid any unnecessary travel to allow plow crews to do their job," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said before the storm.

Travel bans were put in place on major highways in the New York State

Essential Workers In New York State Reported To Work In Nor'Easter

Despite the road closures and travel bans some New York State workers had to get to work. Workers deemed "essential."

On Tuesday, during the WPDH Boris and Robyn Morning Show, Boris and I joked about how stupid it felt to be forced to drive to work to tell everyone else how bad the roads are and to stay home.

I joked we are the lowest of the low when it comes to "essential" workers in New York State.

However, there's many real "essential" employees in the Empire State. Like people who work in healthcare.
