Long Island county executive on "significant" winter storm: "This is not a short-term event"Long Island's Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone warned that the peak of the snowstorm has been pushed back, forecasting that parts of the New York county could see up to 2 feet of snow.
Bellone said Suffolk County’s west end can expect 12-18 inches of snow, while the east can expect up to 2 feet of snow. Though the height of the storm was initially projected for 12 p.m. ET, the county executive says this has now pushed back to 2 p.m. — at which point there will still be heavy snowfall of about 1 inch to 2 inches per hour. The storm will linger through the evening, and plows will work through the night, Bellone said. Saturday night could see wind chills of below 0 degrees.
“This is not a short-term event, this is a significant blizzard and there is a lot of work left to do,” he said.
