The impact of the Christmas Day storm, which was all wet and no white, is being felt three days later.
After being hit with nearly 2 feet of snow the week before Christmas, several parts of the county experienced significant flooding Christmas Day as temperatures rose into the 50s.
The region also saw up to 5 inches of rain on top of the snowmelt.
Several roads in the county remained closed Monday, including county Route 17 in Jewett, state Route 214 near Ulster County and state Route 42 in Lexington. Route 23 in Prattsville has one lane open with an alternating traffic pattern.
Route 17 and Route 214 will require complete reconstruction, Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, R-New Baltimore, said Monday.
More state prisons to close
COXSACKIE â The majority of the construction at the new Greene County Jail is expected to wrap up next month, as three more state prisons bite the dust.
Gowanda Correctional Facility, Watertown Correctional Facility and the Annex at Clinton Correctional Facility will close by March 30 â an estimated savings of $89 million, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Clinton Annex is an extension of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, where convicted murderers David Sweat and Richard Matt escaped through a steam pipe in June 2015.
After a 23-day manhunt, Matt was shot and killed, and Sweat was shot and taken into custody. The announcement follows the 2019 closure of two other state prisons, Livingston and Lincoln correctional facilities.
