After an historic storm swept across Long Island, dumping more than two feet of snow on Bellmore-Merrick from late on Jan. 22 into the early morning of Jan. 24, folks spent the greater part of Sunday digging out their driveways and sidewalks.
Town of Hempstead work crews had largely plowed local streets. That allowed people to get out and about, including to one of the South Shore's best sledding haunts –– Newbridge Road Park in Bellmore.
The Herald Life was there to catch the action in photos and video.
