If you get good photos of the storm this weekend, attach up to three at a time as jpegs and send an email to editorial@hudsonreporter.com. If we use them in an upcoming issue and/or on-line, we'll give you a photo credit (and link to your website if you so desire).
Note that the storm is still four to five days away, so its track has time to change.
