Gov. Hochul introduced a new “snow and ice” rescue vehicle designed to assist stranded motorists.
Officials said 100 National Guard members are on standby to help.
“This can go anywhere, goes along the freeway, cars are stranded,” Hochul said. “I’ve seen this many times in West New York. And they’re able to pick up people who are stranded in their vehicles and transport 20 at a time.”
Hochul said the vehicle would be sent to Long Island to be ready if needed on highways.
New York State Police urges people not to drive until conditions normalize, possibly as early as Tuesday.
