LI Snow Totals So Far, How Much Is Still Coming

LONG ISLAND, NY — "Near white-out conditions at times with whipping winds blowing snow in every direction."

That's how the National Weather Service described the situation on Long Island Saturday morning as a blizzard pummeled the region. More than a foot of snow has already fallen on many parts of Long Island, especially in Suffolk County, where a blizzard warning is in effect until 7 p.m.

An additional 6-9 inches is likely to accumulate on the East End through the afternoon. Western Suffolk will likely see 5-8 more inches while Nassau County, which is under a winter storm warning, should see 4-7 additional inches.

Up to 2 feet of total snow on the East End and about 20 inches in central Suffolk is possible as heavy snow bands slam the island into the early afternoon.

Wind gusts are topping 60 mph in Suffolk, but power outages have not been an issue so far with PSEG Long Island reporting fewer than 200 as of 11 a.m.

Authorities are continuing to urge Long Islanders to stay off the roads unless it's an emergency.

Suffolk County police said they have responded to about 60 crashes since the start of the storm and Motor Carrier Safety Section officers assisted several disabled motorists Saturday morning.
