Nor'easter blows across Valley Stream

A powerful nor'easter whipped across Nassau County, dumping 3 to 6 inches of snow on the South Shore and 4 to 8 on the North Shore. The snow, at times, mixed with light rain, leaving a thin sheen of ice atop the white stuff.

Road conditions were better on main thoroughfares, worse on side streets.

As of 8 a.m. Thursday, snow still appeared to be falling lightly, and wind gusts remained strong.

School districts closed or were already on remote learning schedules.

In Valley Stream, snow totals were slightly less than expected, according to Mayor Ed Fare, with no widespread power outages as of Wednesday morning. "Crews are doing well," he said. "We're just trying to stay ahead of wind and drifts."

The Long Island Rail Road was running 10 to 15 behind schedule systemwide. NICE Bus also reported delays.

PSEG-LI reported that about 3,300 Long Islanders lost power overnight, with 150 outages on Thursday morning.
