Long Island Officials Urge People To Stay Home On Super Bowl Sunday; Dangerous Driving Conditions Expected From Winter Storm
COMMACK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Officials on Long Island are hoping this Super Bowl Sunday means more people in front of TVs, and much fewer on the roads as plow drivers work to clear snow. The overwhelming message from Suffolk County – parts of which could see nine inches of snow – is to stay off the roads since dangerous driving conditions are expected, CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported Sunday. Ready or not, there’s a winter storm rerun on Super Bowl Sunday, adding more slush to already snowy sidewalks and front lawns.“It’s scaring me, just the thought of cleaning up the mess again,” said Suzanne Stringham from East Meadow. “Not looking forward to digging out my car,” another person said. WEATHER TIMELINE: Winter Storm Could Bring Up To 8 Inches Of Snow Sunday Snow removal plans are in place on Long Island. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran says there’s ample salt, and trucks are ready to hit the road. Curran is asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo to mandate public works crews as essential workers to get vaccinated. “It’s really important to keep them safe, to keep them healthy so they can clear the roads. That’s something that we all depend on,” Curran said. LINK: Check The Latest Forecast Store parking lots were jammed Saturday as folks prepared for the winter storm and the big game. But Nassau County’s police commissioner said it’s better to hire a driver or take public transportation on Sunday. “A lot of these parties start by noon… They start to drink… you come out six inches of snow later,” said Commissioner Patrick Ryder. Medical experts are also urging people to make sure the Super Bowl doesn’t become a superspreader event.

Fed Up Long Island Town Gets Proactive Over Abandoned Boats, Creates Online ‘Wall Of Shame’
BABYLON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork ) — Abandoned boats are becoming a serious issue on Long Island . But in Suffolk County , a whole town is now working together to track down the crooks. As CBS2’s Jessica Layton reported Tuesday, they’re using shame to get the job done. RELATED: Joseph Chase Oaks Of Alabama Accused Of Targeting Hundreds Of People In New York, Across Country In Cell Phone Number Scam They may not look like they’re worth much, but to Babylon residents, the two abandoned boats that now sit behind town hall cost them $10,000 in total for removal and disposing fees. “It shouldn’t be left to us to get the burden,” resident Rene Valdivia said. “Why should we pay for someone that doesn’t want to pay and discards it in a callous manner?” resident Janice Soares added. For years, the town has had to collect boats cast aside on town property and in town water, usually it’s stuck with up to 14 a year. “I think it’s pathetic, in a way. I think it’s bad for Long Island, itself, and causing a lot of havoc,” resident Marc Traficante said. But officials want to put an end to this illegal dumping by creating a virtual “Abandoned Boat Wall of Shame,” posted on the town website. “It’s a big expense and there is no reason why the taxpayer should pay extra money to get rid of it,” Babylon Deputy Commissioner of Public Safety Pat Farrell said.

I better not dump the boat. So, we are hoping they do the right thing,” Farrell said. Most of the time, the boats are valueless and their identification numbers have been removed. “It’s not like ...
