VIDEO: More Than a Foot of Snow in St. James

Thick bands of snow led to high accumulations along the North Shore of Suffolk County.

The biggest winter storm of 2013 blanketed the Smithtown area with more than a foot of snow Friday night, as the heavy, wind-blown snow was set to continue into the night.

Earlier, CBS 2 news reported St. James as having 10 inches, but as of 7:30 p.m., the news network pointed to nearby Stony Brook as having the highest total, with 15 inches so far recorded on the ground there.

According to the most recent weather forecast from the National Weather Service, the Smithtown area may see up to 16 inches total by the time the storm tapers off on Saturday.

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.

Isn't that above the cap? Funny, when another news source mentioned 5 districts that are breakingRead More the cap they didn't mention Smithtown. Dn't worry, the district will bully and scare the parents into voting yes by threatening programs instead of doing what they need to do which is reduce administrative costs.

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!
