Narrative:

Aircraft was parked on the ramp. White plains airport ramp ground controller flight to taxi runway 16 via taxiway F, hold short runway 16. Crew read back the taxi clearance and proceeded to taxi. Crossing runway 11, the crew noted an aircraft holding on runway 11. About 3/4 of the way across runway 11, the ground controller stated that we were to hold short of runway 11. We reminded the ground controller that we were cleared to 'taxi runway 16, hold short runway 16 at taxiway F.' nothing more was said and no other incidents occurred. The ground controller was very busy that afternoon working both clearance and ground. The clearance position was busy with rertes due to severe WX procedures in effect.
