State Police announced today that the body of a kayaker missing since February has been found.

Some areas will get only a coating, while others could get more than a foot.

Electric service has been restored to nearly 95 percent of customers affected by Wednesday’s winter storm, as crews from Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. and mutual aid forces continue to repair damage caused by fallen trees and limbs.

Crews of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp., assisted by mutual aid line and tree workers from outside the region, tackled fallen trees, downed limbs and broken poles today to clear roads and restore power to customers affected by Wednesday’s winter storm.

Wednesday’s winter storm turned the valley into a late-winter wonderland, but the weight of the snow-clinging to trees broke limbs and left 40k customers in the dark and cold, many for the second time in a week.

With some parts of the region still in the dark from last Friday’s storm, another nor’easter is making its way toward the Hudson Valley— and it’s a doozy.

As of Tuesday morning, 4,400 outages remain, primarily in the most heavily affected areas of northern Dutchess County.

This afternoon, local organization Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson and allies held a protest at Congressman John Faso’s office in Kingston. The protest called on John Faso and Congress to pass a Clean Dream Act – permanent legislative protections for DACA recipients that do not include any funding for a border wall or immigration enforcement.

Electric service is steadily returning to customers of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. affected by Friday’s nor’easter. Service has been restored to 97,000 customers; and as of 7 a.m.on Monday, approximately 12,500 customers remained without electricity. Of these, approximately 10,000 outages are in the most heavily affected areas of northern Dutchess County.
