As the second nor'easter in less than a week hit Nassau County, village officials in Lynbrook and East Rockaway were preparing for the heavy wintry mix of snow and rain.
East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano said village workers were getting set to deal with the storm over the last two days, as plows and spreaders were prepped by the Department of Public Works. Officials also made sure fuel was in full supply in all village buildings and that the East Rockaway Fire Department had its firehouses equipped with backup generators in the event of power outages.
"The Department of Public Works has approximately 25 full-time and part-time employees ready to respond for snow removal," Romano said. "They have 400 tons of treated salt and sand, as well as salt mix to de-ice roadways.”
The East Rockaway and Lynbrook school districts canceled classes and after school activities for Wednesday.
