Albany County Executive Dan McCoy says crews are out on the roads still working hard, as snow continues to fall in the Capital Region.

McCoy is urging people to stay off the roads which are still very slick. So slick that early Sunday morning a plow truck went off the road around 4 a.m., crashing into a pole. 

A reported 48 plows are clearing about 600 miles of roads, with 1,500 tons of salt and sand already being used throughout the county. But McCoy says right now, there's no reason to be out on the road. 

"We stay on top of it, we take the emergency off the county as a whole. We are putting out tons of salt [yet] it is slick [and] people are fish tailing all over," McCoy said. 

As always, if you see a plow out on the road, give them space and do not try to pass them. 

Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan offered an update earlier on the progress of the cleanup in the city of Albany. The city, no different from the county, is under a snow emergency.

Parts of Albany are dealing with nearly a foot of snow. The Mayor continues to warn Albany residents to be mindful of the dangers of slick roads, possible additional snowfall, and the coming cold shock.

She also urged people to help crews by staying mindful about parking restrictions.

"Tell your neighbors, make sure people know. If you go to move your car, and you notice a neighbor isn't moving their car, knock on their door. Make sure they're aware that we have a snow emergency in place, so we can have this process go as smoothly as possible," Sheehan said.

The Department of General Services Supervisor was with the Mayor at Sunday's briefing. He referred to a few problems with equipment in Sunday's early cleanup, but called them minor.

Troy Mayor Patrick Madden sent out a statement on how the Collar City is handling the snowstorm. He reminds city residents to keep an eye out for the safety of the very old, or very young. People are also asked not to push snow from their property into the road.

"As precipitation winds down on Sunday, pushback operations will begin across the city. Crews have been working throughout the night to keep roads open for emergency vehicles and personnel. I extend my appreciation to our Department of Public Works and Public Utilities staff for their ongoing efforts before and during the storm," Madden said.

Elsewhere in places like Rochester, people woke up to heavy snow and bitter cold temperatures, as a winter storm warning remains in effect until Saturday evening. In Buffalo, it's more of the same with bitter cold wind on top of all that snow.

Albany has the solace in knowing that at least residents aren't all shoveling alone.
