LI nearing 'height of the storm'
High winds are gusting to around 50 mph across Long Island, according to Jim Connolly, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Upton.
“Over the next several hours, we will be at the height of the storm,” said Connolly. “The winds will pick up a little more. The heaviest snow bands are covering all of Long Island.”
People should expect whiteout conditions and heavy blowing snow.
Long Islanders can report snowfall measurements and damage from strong winds and heavy snow to the National Weather Service here.
