Long Islanders were
out and about Thursday getting ready for a snowstorm set to hit Long
Island Friday night into Saturday.
News 12 Long
Island visited a hardware store in East Islip where the ice melt pile was
dwindling down and the sale of shovels and snowblowers was picking up.
The biggest item people were walking out with was sleds.
Many told News 12 they are happy with the timing of the storm, getting the
chance to stay in and enjoy it on the weekend.
If you do have to leave during the storm, prepare your car by filling up and packing
extra winter clothes, an ice scraper, a shovel, a
first aid kit, snacks and water in case you get stuck.
Thunderbolt 12
will be out for the duration of the storm with live looks of the road so
residents can know the conditions before walking out the door.
