As central and eastern parts of Suffolk County continue to dig out from this weekend’s historic blizzard, help from New York State is on the way.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday said 529 pieces of equipment are being sent to the region that in some parts has nearly three feet of snow on the ground.
According to Cuomo, 412 plow trucks and 731 operators have arrived over the past 24 hours. As a result, nearly one-third of New York’s snow removal assets have been sent to Suffolk.
“Suffolk County has not seen a winter storm like Nemo in years, and the massive amount of snow left behind effectively shut down the entire region,” Cuomo said. “The State will continue to do everything possible to augment existing recovery work and will ensure that residents of Suffolk can go back to life as normal as quickly as possible.”
The storm, which dumped record amounts of snow across Suffolk Friday into Saturday, left more than 100 cars stranded on the Long Island Expressway, forcing officials to close the LIE Sunday from Exit 57 to Exit 73 to complete snow removal operations.
I used to live in Halesite on a 40 degree hill and they constantly were dropping sand. Why when the forecasters said it would rain then snow and freeze didn't the town take care of this. And not for nothing, Clay Pitts Road which is a major road has more snow on it then some side streets. Now that I have spent 3 hours digging out I DO NOT want a major truck coming down my street because they will dump all of that snow back into my driveway. Just let the warm weather and rain take care of it.

Last time I checked, school districts are part of "government", and the "Internet" doesn't create it's content out of thin air. Someone creates it, and in the case of school district websites, it's those silly school districts, isn't it?
I'm all for helping neighbors, I dug one out today. But you don't do that until you take care of your own
Who are you addressing?
One exception, East Hampton/Springs seems to be in good shape.
