“From the hundreds of people taking refuge in the Adams firehouse, to the people who opened their homes to stranded motorists, there are so many stories of generosity and community that have come out of this recent storm,” said Senator Ritchie.

“I’m calling on those who experienced the weather event—whether they were helped or lent a hand to someone in need—to share their stories to be featured at this special event being held to recognize the Adams community.”

Those interested in sharing stories may email them to Senator Ritchie at ritchie@nysenate.gov.

Beginning on January 6th and lasting three days, the major lake effect snowstorm dumped more than three feet of snow on much of Jefferson County.  The Adams area was hit particularly hard by the storm, which closed Route 81 and caused more than 150 motorists to take refuge in the community.
