A street in Lindenhurst turned to ice on Saturday in the aftermath of the bomb cyclone that tore through Long Island.
South Bay Street froze up because of high tide water flooding the street, which then turning into ice and snow because of dropping temperatures.
Lindenhurst resident Anthony DeFarro told News 12 the storm and the high tide combined had the wind pushing the water up along the street from a canal -as much as 2 1/2 feet.
“Around 2 p.m., everything was frozen solid,” he said. “Then the trucks came from the town and they salted it down and the ice scraped it away as you can see it’s a little slippery.”
DeFarro added the street floods often but doesn't freeze like they did on Saturday.
