New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had ordered Metro-North to cease operations at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 23, as part of a State of Emergency order to contend with the snowstorm that reached blizzard levels in Westchester County and New York City.

Putnam County was among the areas covered by the governor’s State of Emergency but no specific orders were given other than to close state facilities such as parks and Department of Environmental Conservation stations. The state parks were to be reopened at noon.
