I hope you guys had a great New Year's Eve; I stopped by Jeremy's Ale House, where they had an excellent (and free!) buffet cooked up (I believe) by the infamous and award-winning Reggie, complimentary champagne (I don't drink), and great DJing by Mike "Crash" Suchan! I hope you all have a great year, too!
We're even gonna start it off with a lovely blizzard!
Thursday or so (But apparently starting tonight?), we're gonna get a major snowstorm called "Hercules" by the media. The usual rules apply - but what are they?
- Try to stock up on anything you need before the snow gets heavy.
- Help your neighbors do the sidewalks if you can. If possible, clear out a 3-feet circle around your nearby fire hydrants. (via TJ Johnson.)
- Avoid driving! If you absolutely have to, drive carefully! Go slowly, allow yourself lots of time to stop,, do not make sharp turns, and have your lights on!
- If the power goes out, be careful with candles!
- Keep a cell phone handy; a battery-powered radio is a good idea, too.
- Park your cars in your driveway, if you can. (Via FFD member Robert Volpe)
- Bring your pets inside!
According to reports, this storm may create a higher potential for floods. Between the cycle of the moon and wind conditions, Long Island might experience higher water levels than usual.
All the usual rules, really.
Otherwise, be safe!
