My brother, niece and nephews live off Wm Floyd Pwy. Living in Mastic Beach & commuting to the city was interesting lol, I got stuck many a time on the LIE due to snow storms, one time I had to abandon my car on Shelter Rock Road, was lucky to find a cab and spent the night at my SIL brothers house in Westbury (Levittown) that was a nightmare trip lol. Hope your area doesn't get hit hard. Here on the mountain so far appox. 3, 4 inches have fallen, keeping fingers crossed. Be careful.

Schools had early dismissals and the news is showing empty shelves in the grocery stores.
It's coming down like crazy right now and they are projecting 12 to 24 here on the New Jersey Coast with high winds. If the power goes out for a long period at least we can put food outside.
The big problem we have here along the coast flooding as it melts. So between the blizzard, power loss and flooding we have to worry about evacuations. I'm a Red Cross Disaster Team member so I have my "go pack" ready. Let's hope I don't need it and can stay home this time.
Stay safe everyone. East coasters check in when you can. |
I have the weather station on, their concerned with flooding when high tide comes in around 1AM, praying that doesn't happen and you don't have to grab that "go pack". Stay safe.
