On Monday, Feb. 7, Hochul surveyed storm damage in Ulster County as many residents remained without power over the weekend.
She toured warming centers in the Kingston area and provided an update on the response effort after the storm brought nearly three-quarters of an inch of flat ice, officials reported.
State officials said the storm left 65,000 customers without power at its peak. Hochul said that as Monday morning, more than 7,500 homes in the county were without power.
Officials said Central Hudson has indicated that 95 percent of the county will have power restored by 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 8.
"While many in Ulster County have since had their power restored, we are working around the clock to help the thousands of households that haven't yet," Hochul said. "Ulster County received the worst of last week's winter storm and our emergency management personnel have been working hard throughout the weekend to ensure the community has what it needs to get through this. We are bringing the full resources of the state to bear in our storm recovery efforts and we will continue to support Ulster County residents in any way we can."

- Andy Murphy Center, 467 Broadway, Kingston, NY 12401
