An Orange County family is saying "shame on you" to Orange &amp; Rockland for allegedly taking months to approve their application for electric in their new home.&nbsp;

They say it is forcing them to spend the holidays in a travel-trailer.

Health care worker Amanda Rider says she and her family are unable to move into their Mount Hope home because of an ongoing application mix-up with the utility company. &nbsp;

Rider says she sold their home in Wappingers Falls in September and thought staying in a trailer would be temporary while her new home was built.<br>She says it passed an electrical inspection weeks ago but that the service has yet to be turned on.

A representative for Orange &amp; Rockland says the home has not been ready for service and that&nbsp;it is&nbsp;working with the family and their construction team to get power on as soon as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;

HVFORECAST

Addison Green is now back with a look at that forecast and Addison, it looks like there may be a bit of a warm up this weekend. But what about those rain chances? Thankfully, Nikita, the uh warm up is coming along in with just a little bit of some shower activity. We're not talking about the weekend being in a wash up but Sunday, between the two weekend days, we have you perhaps be more inside than outside because we do anticipate seeing on and off showers, maybe some isolated sunny breaks if we're lucky. But the day to be out and about on Saturday, mostly cloudy, relatively mild for this time of the year. High temperatures getting up into the low to mid fifties, but we can't skip past Friday and we do have ourselves a relatively mild day coming away up a 40 to around 50 degrees coming through. The only problem is we're gonna be seeing a system come through, pushing away that sunshine giving us those rain chances as we start to make our way through the afternoon hours. But at least high pressure for the day today has displaced the cold air, mild air has moved up across the northeast, but here comes Friday showers as the system comes out of the southern plains and heads over this way. So let's put it all together for you going into. It's Friday morning. 830 we got 39 in pine bush, 37 Brewster, 40 degrees out there in New City towards the two o'clock hour, cloudy cover for everyone scattered showers moving along as well. Just light to maybe isolated batches of moderate rain coming on down. That will be the case towards the evening commute, 56 o'clock or so across the entire Hudson Valley area. But notice towards 8 to 9 o'clock showers are starting to wrap on up as that first system leaves us. Then here comes system number two with fast forward impasse Saturday into Sunday where my Sunday morning in through Sunday afternoon, we're seeing widespread scattered showers coming on in. Don't see a lot of that dark green or yellow or orange coming through. So we're not anticipating downpours and we're all of a sudden done from those two systems, maybe about half an inch or so of rain coming on down. So certainly nothing to cancel any plans over. Just prepare to have that umbrella by your side past Sunday into Monday, we're drying out, but unfortunately, cooling down. Once again, we see temperatures going down towards the low forties and upper thirties as we head into the first night of Hanukkah on Thursday.
