Many cities and towns throughout the Capital Region and Hudson Valley have declared snow emergencies for Saturday. This is due to the intense snow expected overnight.

The city of Amsterdam, the towns of East Greenbush and Rotterdam and the villages of Menands and Scotia are among those declaring snow emergencies.

A snow emergency isn't in place, but city of Albany officials say anywhere from four to 10 inches of snow is forecasted to fall overnight and into Sunday morning. 

Those who live in Center Square are asked to park in Madison Avenue. Those living downtown are being asked to park in Lincoln Park or in Quackenbush Garage.

Mayor Kathy Sheehan is asking residents to stay off the roads as much as possible during this time so crews can keep streets clear of snow. 

Albany police say they will be on duty to help with snow-related safety needs. Those in non-emergency situations are asked to call the APD's non-emergency number at 518-438-4000.

In the lower Hudson Valley, communities like Middletown, Port Jervis, and Monticello are expected to get about three to six inches.

Residents are advised to check with their local municipality for restrictions in their area.  

The snow emergency remains in effect for 48 hours after one is declared. Officials are asking residents to stay off the roads and move their vehicles in preparation for the storm.
