Indeed, its going to be whiteout conditions. Let's see if they close the LIE tonight. If they don't, look for those pictures tomorrow morning of cars abandoned on the road and everyone walking to that Walmart.
I can tell you that LI is not prepared for any significant snow. Just came home from Ace Hardware and the supermarket - empty. No one out getting supplies and food. Saw no landscapers gassing up at the gas station either. My snowblower did start after almost 20 pulls and fuel priming.
