Today is the first “visiting day” of Summer 2013. Thousands of families are travelling from the city to the Catskills to visit their children and grandchildren in camps throughout the mountains. There are already numerous reports of accidents causing backups on the roadways.

In addition to the current traffic conditions, tens of thousands of people will be making their commute back to the city for the week, as they do every Sunday evening.

Please check YWN Catskills throughout the day for the latest information.
