Bronxville and Scarsdale residents may experience flooded basements from a slow moving Winter Storm that will dump heavy rain ~ 10708
** Most parkways in the area are now flooded and closed, including the Bronx River Parkway from Scarsdale to the Sprain Parkway. Check your radio and local traffic for accidents. An accident on I-95 this afternoon is making travel tough, too.
Believe it or not, this is our 4th major Winter Storm in the states and it's Westchester County's 2nd big storm so far. It IS a Nor'easter, as you'll notice by the driving winds from the direction of Maine, pelting us with freezing rain today and tonight.
It may change to snow off and on through tomorrow and Thursday. But, the big problem is ground water and our high water table from rain and snow in the past two weeks. There is no where for the water to go but around and into our homes.
As I drove back to our office today, most parkways were closed and I had to take back roads that I knew were not low and near our waterways. This is a big, slow moving storm, so make sure your drains are clear outside the house and that leaves and debris are clear at the bottom of your gutters.
Best of luck and safe driving in this bad storm...stay home, telecommute if you can. Be safe out there folks!
NOTE: Coastal flooding is going to be a problem, too. Towns like Larchmont and Mamaroneck may need assistance. That is, if high tide and all this rain converge on the sound shore towns tonight and tomorrow.
