Crews in multiple towns across Long Island are working this morning to remove feet of snow and ice that have piled up since Sunday's storm.
In Huntington, heavy machinery has been out overnight, focusing on the village area and side roads along Main Street.
“We’re trying to pick up all the snow we can off the sidewalks and anything that’s frozen that you couldn’t get with a shovel," Huntington Town Highway Superintendent Andre Sorrentino said. "We have all the departments out.”
Huntington Town Highway Superintendent Andre Sorrentino said efforts will continue over the next several nights in other parts of the town, including Huntington Station and Greenlawn. He said any person who feels their residential neighborhood needs another pass-through should reach out directly to the highway department.
Similar efforts are underway in Glen Cove, where crews were clearing Bridge Street, School Street and Glen Street as well as across the town of North Hempstead after feet of snow built up over the last few days.
Most of the snow across these towns are being moved to places like parks and other areas that aren't getting a lot of active use in the winter.
Officials said the initial snowfall from Sunday, combined with what was plowed, created a dangerous situation for people not only to walk through but also narrowed sidewalks, roads, blocked parking and entrances to businesses.
Towns are also keeping an eye on the possibility of more snowfall this weekend and want to clear out the existing mess before the chance that more could accumulate on top of that.
