Good morning!!

Please be careful when leaving the house today. We are out salting again, there are some icy spots out there. Any untreated surfaces such as driveways, walkways, and sidewalks will be icy. Please allow extra time when traveling. It will warm up fairly quickly today and will all dry out. Safe travels!

Good morning!
When we took over the highway department a few years ago, community involvement and culture change were very high on our priority list. The men and women of the Carmel Highway Department are truly amazing employees, professional in every sense of the word, and do their best to always provide the finest work. For 3 years, the first graders at Lakeview Elementary, led by their wonderful teachers, participate in Kindness Week. They made personalized cards for the highway department employees and brought lots of goodies! This year we were finally able to do a little something for them, and it was definitely a major highlight for us. These wonderful teachers are really showing these children from a young age what kindness does, how it can affect people, and also shows them the workers and volunteers who take care of and make this the greatest town to grow up in. Here are a few pictures and videos. Thank you to all of the first grade teachers of Lakeview Elementary and the greatest little pupils.

Good morning!
In the end, Mother Nature tells us. We have salt on the roads under the snow you see. We will go out again shortly. The school districts are doing everything in their power to get the kids to school. Please be patient and we will do everything we can to keep the roads clear for everyone to get to work and get the kids to school. If you have any emergencies, please call Carmel Police Department, NY 845-628-1300. Call highway for any road related issues at 845-628-7474. 23 days until spring!! Safe travels.

Good evening!!!
The Town of Carmel has issued a Snow Emergency starting 12pm tomorrow until 11pm on Monday. What this means is that unless of an emergency, we urge residents to stay off the roadways. ALL VEHICLES MUST BE OFF OF THE ROADWAY ENTIRELY, OR ARE SUBJECT TO TICKET OR TOW. All garbage pails are to be off the roadways as well, and should be kept near your home. Even if they are a few feet off the road, the snow coming off of the plow will push them over.
The National Weather Service has put us in a Winter Storm Warning, and are predicting between 12-18 inches of snow. The heaviest is supposed to start tomorrow evening well into Monday late morning, while blizzard like conditions come into play. That means winds will be very strong. Power outages are likely, due to heavy snow and winds. Please take all precautions necessary prior to tomorrow afternoon, check your generators, and also very important, check on your elderly neighbors. Let’s all work together to ensure the safety of all residents. Stay home, put a movie on, play a board game, make a snowman, let’s go old school!!
Mailboxes will be knocked down, curbs will be broken, this stuff happens in extreme weather events. It’s not intentional. Our plow trucks will be out throughout the day, all night, and until the roadways are safe for travel. Keep in mind every time the plows are sent out, we hit every single road on out routes, so nobodys road is skipped. If we experience 1-2 inches per hour and the routes take 3 hours to complete, then the first road will have 3-6 inches on it by the time they complete a round.
If you experience an emergency, please call Carmel Police Department, NY at 845-628-1300. If you have any roadway issues, call Carmel Highway at 845-628-7474. Stay safe!
