Hochul says to make sure you take "proper precautions."

"I urge all New Yorkers to stay alert, monitor local forecasts, and exercise caution as they travel to be with family and friends this holiday weekend as we experience winter weather across the State,” Governor Hochul said.

The Hudson Valley is only expected to see some rain on Thanksgiving followed by colder temperatures. The region seems to have dodged the snow, but many other parts of the state are expected to deal with a large amount of snow.
