Forecasters are now saying, if the weather stands, 2 of the best places to see the solar eclipse on Monday are right here in New York State, and one of them is really close.
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente is warning local residents too be prepared for the eclipse on Monday, April 8th. Additional traffic and thousands of tourists, at a time when Utica will already be filled with world hockey fans for the women's olympic championships, could cause havoc and Picente wants locals to be prepared.
The New York State Police are making preparations for the upcoming solar eclipse, which is expected to draw big crowds and tourists along its path in New York in two weeks.
