The Rockland County winter warming center in Pomona is ready to open starting in November. The facility is available to people who need a place to warm up when the wind chill drops below 35° Fahrenheit. On December 1st, the center will be open every night, with daytime operations triggered if the wind chill again falls below that same temperature. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says it’s more than just a place to keep warm…
