We are tracking a winter storm that is expected to bring a mixed precipitation to our area starting Tuesday, December 2, 2025, around 5 AM and continuing throughout the day. The precipitation is expected to be a mixture of snow and rain which may cause our roadways and other travel surfaces to become. Based on this information County Executive Kevin Byrne has decided to delay opening by two hours all non-essential Putnam County offices for the day.  As such, all non-essential Putnam County offices are on a 2 hour delayed opening. Putnam County Employees that would normally report to work at 8:00 AM should report at 10:00 AM and employees that report at 9:00 AM should report at 11:00 AM..

The County Executive and his team will meet in the morning to review the current weather conditions and at that time, may elect to close County Offices for the day.

To keep you informed of these events, we will make every attempt to contact employees. Please keep in mind that the final decision to travel to work is yours and you should be confident in your ability to safely travel. Some employees travel from an area where the weather may be much different from what it is here and that should be taken into account before you make your final decision.
