Blizzard 2013: What You Need to Know

From how to reach the town about snow removal to the latest on store openings, we have you covered.

More than 24 hours after a blizzard dropped 24 inches of snow in the North Babylon-Deer Park area, many residents are still digging out.

To make it easier, Patch has compiled some of the most important information into one story.

First, the Town of Babylon asks that residents call the Public Safety office at 631-422-7600 if a road has not been plowed at all. As of last night, the main roads had been plowed repeatedly, and many secondary streets were cleared at least once, though some were still difficult to navigate.

Also, anyone planning to drive around Long Island on Sunday should take note: many main roads are in bad shape, including the Long Island Expressway, which is shut down from Exit 57 to Exit 73. It won't be easy to drive east. Many cars are still stuck on the LIE.

As for businesses, most retail shops that are scheduled to open on Sunday are, in fact, open. But it's always smart to call ahead. The main supermarkets were open.

And as always: In case of an emergency, dial 911.

Finally, on a lighter side, please continue to share your blizzard photos with us. Residents throughout Long Island have shared great pictures. So join in.
