Snow Drifts High on L.I.


At least one Long Island community is already wondering where to put all that snow.

Patchogue Public Works Superintendent Joseph Dean says “there’s too much of it to leave” along the roads. The village is now reviewing its options.

The Eastern Long Island community had the area’s highest official snowfall — 27.5 inches — and drifts considerably higher.

Crews also are working to clear wider paths on the roads. They’ve all been plowed at least once.

The island’s major roadways presented no major problems.

Richard Castro of the National Weather Service said the Long Island Expressway was “fine” on his trip from Queens to Upton. He said secondary roads were still snowy.

Castro say black ice will be a concern Monday night.
