The solar eclipse is days away and New York is on its direct path of totality. But there are some cities and towns that get to stay in the dark the longest.
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.
