Snowstorm no problem for this LIRR commuter
Despite the looming snowstorm Sunday, Jihye Seo, 32, kept a business-as-usual outlook. She sang in the choir at Yale Korean Presbyterian Church choir in Hicksville.
Later Sunday, Seo said, she'll teach music remotely to her clients. She struck an optimistic tone, comparing the latest forecasts to the snowstorm in January, while waiting in the cold Sunday afternoon for a train at the Long Island Rail Road's Hicksville Station.
"I don’t think it’s going to be as bad, because temperatures are going to be so much higher," she said
Still, Seo was going to be spending the rest of the day in Wantagh at the home of her boyfriend’s parents, who she said were more unnerved by the weather.
"I really don’t care," she said, as the snowfall outside the station started to intensify.
