Snow storm

A downed and arcing power line on Wading River-Manor Road caused a water main to break, leaving a large area in Wading River without water or power this morning. The break turned North Country Road into a river.

Until late afternoon yesterday it seemed like the second nor’easter in a week to slam the mid-Atlantic and New England regions would be another windy rain event in the local area.

Riverhead saw about 6 inches of snow across town from yesterday's snow, Highway Superintendent George Woodson said. Most schools have delayed their opening by two hours this morning. List of local closings, cancellations and delays here.
