Babylon Village Residents Sound Off on Snow Plowing

Winter Storm Jonas brought over a foot on snow to most of Long Island with a half dozen towns gaining totals of over 2 feet.

The blizzard led to travel bans on both the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway, while LIRR service was suspended until Monday morning.

While the bans are currently lifted, the LIRR is still facing sizable delays and numerous Long Island school districts announced closures as the island works to dig itself out of this weekend’s blizzard.

We asked Patch readers how they felt about the plowing done on their block. Here’s what you said:

• “Plow came down the middle of the street turning it into a one-way. Everyone on the block had to shovel 5-6 feet past their driveway on both sides of the street.”
• “I live on a corner house and my driveway faces a dead end. Every year I have to shovel out the dead end to get out because the town says that dead ends aren’t priority.”
• “Village did a great job!”
• “Only went down middle of street.”
• “What’s the point of getting cars off the street if they are only going down the middle?”
• “Absolutely! They cleared the middles and came back for the sides. Those guys a re doing a great job!”
