I’m declaring a State of Emergency for Nassau, Suffolk, New York City and Westchester as this powerful coastal storm bears down on the region.

We’re expecting dangerous coastal flooding, strong winds and potential power outages through the weekend.

Take this storm seriously. Stay alert, avoid unnecessary travel, and text 333-111 for realtime updates.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Five years ago today, I became Governor of the state I’ve called home my entire life.

A lot has changed since then, but what drives me hasn’t:

Making life better for New Yorkers.

We’ve accomplished a lot together. And I’m still just as determined to get up every day and keep fighting for you.

File under "things you can only see in the winter!" In the right conditions, the fountain outside the Glen Iris Inn at Letchworth State Park transforms into an ice volcano...and conditions have been perfect this year!
