Tuesday March 14: Warming centers available in Warren County as power outages persist
From an announcement: Three (3) warming centers have been opened around Warren County as storm-related power outages are expected to linger for more than 24 hours in some parts of the county. Additional centers may open depending upon facility availability and duration of outages.
Those in need of a place to stay warm can go to the following locations for the duration of the storm:
- Queensbury Emergency Medical Services, 1109 Ridge Road, Queensbury.
- Hague Fire Station, 4 West Hague Road, Hague.
- West Glens Falls Emergency Medical Services, 86 Luzerne Road, Queensbury. (Park on Media Drive side of building.)
As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, nearly 5,900 National Grid customers were without power in Warren County. Outages were most extensive in the western and northern parts of Warren County, where some areas have already received 20-plus inches of snow.
National Grid expects some repairs to stretch into late Wednesday, as heavy, wet snow has not only brought down tree debris and utility lines but has also made it difficult to access some areas for repairs.
