Due to the forecasted winter storm, Ulster County government will be operating on a delayed schedule, opening at 1:00 pm on Monday, January 26, 2026. *This does not apply to the County’s 24/7 operations or facilities*
We will assess conditions Monday morning and, if necessary, issue additional updates via email and on the homepage of the County website.
Governor Hochul has officially declared a state of emergency, and County Executive Metzger is activating the Emergency Operations Center, or EOC, beginning 6 AM on Sunday. The EOC will monitor the storm and coordinate any emergency response as necessary.
DPW crews will also be out clearing snow on County roads, as they always do. Please avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. If you must drive, our road closure map displays road closures using data from the County's public safe system, and the road conditions map shows real-time traffic updates and road conditions based on Waze data.
The County will have two warming centers open for those in need: one at Segunda Iglesias Church at 80 Elmendorf St. in Kington, which is open 24/7, and a second warming center at the Hunt Memorial Building at 124 Canal St in Ellenville, which will be open nightly from 5 pm to 9 am, beginning Saturday.
