Hudson gets about 7 inches of snow

    Paul Greening, a resident of 606 Third St., brushes the snow from his car the morning after Hudson got about 7 inches of it. Greening said he had been working about 15 minutes to dig his car out of a snowbank created by a plow truck that passed by in the night.

The final snow counts are in. It appears that Hudson received about 7 inches of snowfall that started at midday Tuesday, Dec. 8, and continued through the night and into the day Wednesday, Dec. 9.

The National Weather Service doesn’t have a reporting station in Hudson, so the estimate is based on reports from surrounding communities.
