Blizzard 2013: What You Need to Know

More than 24 hours after a blizzard dropped nearly two feet of snow on West Islip, many residents are still digging out.

To make it easier, Patch has compiled some of the most important information into one story.

First, local residents needing to call Islip Town should dial 631-224-5600. As of last night, the main roads had been plowed repeatedly, but secondary roads were dicey and were still difficult to navigate.

Also, anyone planning to drive around Long Island on Sunday should take note: many main roads are in bad shape, including the Long Island Expressway, which is shut down from Exit 57 to Exit 73. It won't be easy to drive east. Many cars are still stuck on the LIE.

As for businesses, most retail shops that are scheduled to open on Sunday are, in fact, open. But it's always smart to call ahead. The main supermarkets were open.

And as always: In case of an emergency, dial 911.

Finally, on a lighter side, please continue to share your blizzard photos with us. Residents throughout Long Island have shared great pictures. So join in.
