School closings are beginning to roll in.

Please check the link in our bio or visit RadioCatskill.org for the latest updates.

Here’s what we’re watching for Tuesday, December 2:

Our first widespread snowfall of the season is moving into the Hudson Valley and Sullivan County — and it’s arriving during the morning commute.

National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Greenblatt says this will be a quick-moving but impactful storm:

“We’re looking at a general six to eight inches of snow, with locally higher amounts in the Catskills. The steadiest and heaviest snowfall sets up between 7 AM and the late morning hours. Roads will be snow-covered and slippery, especially during the commute.”

That means slower travel, possible delays, and extra time needed to get anywhere tomorrow morning.

Greenblatt adds:

“If you have to be on the roads, leave early, keep extra space between cars, and take it slow. Conditions improve later in the afternoon as snow tapers off from west to east.”

We’ll continue updating school closings, delays, and weather advisories as they come in.

Mold, Inaccessible Bathrooms, Unlivable Conditions: Disabled New Yorkers Say ‘Hotel-for-Housing’ is Failing Them

At the Knights Inn in Liberty, two Sullivan County residents say unsafe and inaccessible conditions are putting their health at risk.

Jen Duncan wears five jackets and three pairs of pants just to stay warm. She lives with a chemical brain condition that makes her extremely sensitive to mold, fumes, and harsh cleaners. After being placed at the Knights Inn, she says her room’s mold, peeling paint, and lack of accessibility have forced her to live outside in a tent while she waits for a medically safe room.

Another resident, Steven Robert Boynton, now uses a wheelchair and says he can’t get into his bathroom, struggles with loose carpeting at the entrance to his room, and is still waiting for his SNAP benefits to resume after the shutdown.

County officials say they inspect hotels every six months and work to move people into accessible rooms when available. But both Duncan and Boynton say the system isn’t meeting the needs of disabled residents—and that conditions inside the motel pose real dangers.

New York State has increasingly relied on hotels to house homeless families, with costs tripling since 2018. In Sullivan County alone, more than $3.5 million was spent on hotel contracts last year. Advocates warn that without proper oversight and accessible rooms, temporary housing can become harmful instead of helpful.

As temperatures drop, Duncan remains outside in freezing rain and snow.

“Food, fresh air, basic aid, meds… this was preventable,” she says.
