WATCH: Locals Rush Out for Pre-Blizzard Supplies

Markets fill as heavy snow threatens to blanket the area.

With winter storm Nemo on the way, locals in the Smithtown area packed supermarkets looking for supplies.

In one instance, st 5:30 p.m., Trader Joes in Lake Grove was full of people, with lines about seven people deep at the registers.

Earlier Thursday, we asked our readers on Facebook what supplies they were making sure to stock up on, and the answers varied. Take a look and tell us what supplies you've made sure to get before the blizzard hits:

  • Heather Shea Feinberg - Chocolate chips to make cookies?
  • John Urbancik - Water milk bread gas for generators in case power goes out , ice melt check your oil if you use have oil heat.
  • Sheila Nemchin Bertsch - More important make sure you have all your meds for you and your children just in case something doesn't open up. batteries too.
  • Kevin Long - Wine
  • Tim Dubriske - New Video game to keep the kids busy!!!!
  • Rich Black - Wine and liquor!

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
