  • "7 feet of Snow was reported in Buffalo."
  • "Our state is proud to support each other with services and resources"

  • "At 6PM the MTA will update on all progress and is doing all they can to be up and running by Monday morning."
  • "Mild flooding was reported, but Long Island did not see much flooding due to preparation since SuperStorm Sandy.
