Another major snowstorm is forecast to arrive tomorrow around 6:00 PM and last through Monday night. Snow bands could bring 2 to 3 inches per hour, with some areas experiencing prolonged snowfall for hours. Cedarhurst is expected to accumulate 12 to 18 inches with higher drifts possible.
With substantial snowfall in the forecast, we strongly encourage everyone to remain indoors if possible and park their vehicles in their driveway. If driveway parking is not an option, please park on only one side of the street so the DPW can plow from curb to curb. After that side has been cleared, move your vehicles to the opposite side to allow crews to finish the street. This will allow our plows to clear the roads more efficiently and safely.
Emergency & Safety Reminders
- Call 911 for emergencies only. Contacting the Fourth Precinct directly may delay assistance.
- Treat all downed wires as live. Stay well away and do not drive over or stand near them. To report downed wires, call PSEG Long Island at 800-490-0075 or 911.
- Electricity travels easily through water and wet snow. Avoid standing water, slush, or flooded areas. If you encounter them, turn around and find an alternate route.
- Never operate generators or gasoline-powered equipment inside your home, basement, or garage, or within 20 feet of doors, windows, or vents. Always use generators outdoors with a heavy-duty extension cord that allows for safe distance from the home.
- PSEG has a mobile app which you can download by clicking here to report outages and receive information on restoration times, crew locations and more.
- Outage maps from PSEG can be found on their web site at https://outagemap.psegliny.com/ and displays outages in the service territory, as well as estimated restoration times.
