With the temperature hovering right around 32 degrees Fahrenheit, Bellmore-Merrick was once again blanketed in white on Feb. 5. The snowstorm came only two weeks after an historic blizzard pummeled the area.
The heavy, wet snow made the commute difficult, if not treacherous for those who had to go to work. Main roads were clear, though side streets were often unplowed.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service were calling for three to six inches of snow before the storm was expected to let up in the afternoon.
