President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration for a snow storm in upstate New York, before going on his usual morning workout on a rainy Monday morning at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

The major disaster means Washington will chip in to help state, local and tribal government pay to clean up and rebuild after a last month’s blockbuster storm that dumped more than 7 feet of snow across the region.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the storm had cost more than $46 million, well in excess of the government’s $27.3 million threshold for federal emergency aid.

More than 370 structures suffered roof damage from the snow and 38 structures were destroyed. 

The storm is blamed for 14 deaths. 

Federal funding will now be available for the counties of Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Orleans, St. Lawrence, and Wyoming.

The president’s motorcade left the compound under rainy skies and arrived at the gym at the base at about 8:30 a.m. Monday. 

The rain eased as the motorcade left the base at 9:48 a.m. and returned to the Obama family’s rental home in Kailua. Despite light showers, a few people stood along the road and waved and took pictures of the passing motorcade. 

A hand-painted sign near the security check-point entrance in the neighborhood read “Aloha Obama Ohana,” using the Hawaiian word for family.

On Sunday, Obama called New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton on Sunday morning to offer condolences for the killing of two New York City police officers and support in the coming days and weeks, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. The officers were ambushed in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday. During the conversation, Schultz said Obama reiterated his call for the American people to reject violence and “words that harm, and turn to words that heal — prayer, patient dialogue and sympathy for the friends and family of the fallen.” 

The president also called Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, a co-chair of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, asking him to explore ways to engage law enforcement officials across the nation, the White House said.

The president also went out to dinner with friends and family Sunday night at Morimoto Waikiki, a Japanese restaurant created by Masaharu Morimoto of “Iron Chef.” It is one of their favorite dining spots on the island of Oahu and dinner there has become a vacation staple for them. 

Earlier in the day, Obama played golf with friends at the Kaneohe Klipper course on the Marine base. Joining him on the clear, sunny day were Joe Paulsen, Preston Heard and Bobby Titcomb, the White House said. The round of golf lasted less than three hours.

Obama followed up golfing by joining his family and friends at Bellows Air Force Base beach, the White House said. As the motorcade pulled into the air station, it passed an outdoor barbecue chicken stand, where some onlookers waved and snapped photos.
