Long Islanders are digging out after the largest
snowstorm in years and with the dropping temperatures, streets are icing
up.
The Town
of Brookhaven says about 430 vehicles worked through the night to treat roads in time for the
morning’s rush hour.
Nassau County also says it kept trucks rolling through the night.
“The slush will freeze. We need to keep our guys out
there salting and plowing,
doing their work. It is
a real concern, and again please exercise
caution,” says Nassau County Executive
Laura Curran.
Suffolk
police report there were 117 accidents in the county related to the storm.
In Nassau
County there were 43,
and police say 17
of those accidents involved injuries.
