For Plow Workers, Thank Yous Out of Frustrations

While locals were not pleased that roads took so long to get plowed, few faulted the workers pulling 14-hour shifts to get the snow cleared.

It may have taken days for Kings Park roads to be plowed, with officials citing equipment problems, unusually high snow totals and road icing as reasons for the delay.

But while frustrations with town leadership ran high, most members of the community wanted to thank the workers who were indeed out on the roads plowing for hours and hours. See some of their comments from our Facebook page below. Also if you want to thank anyone who helped you in the storm, maybe a neighbor who helped shovel you out, please leave them in the comments below.

  • Jackie Riter- Nelson I know you worked hard to get the job done !Thank you !
  • Christine Schmidt Rome We were plowed very early after the storm and today you plowed a big boulder of snow into my driveway and as I started to brake it up with my shovel and you came with the bulldozer and took away for me. Thank you
  • Stephanie Adele Coiro Honestly thank those town of Smithtown guys because over here in Brookhaven we haven't seen plows at all.

There's a 'Lost Dog' sign and a picture of a German Shepard in the window of Edelweis Deli.

I just saw this dog running down sunken meadow rd. on Monday afternoon around 4:45. We tried callingRead More it but it ran into the st. johnland nursing home and wouldn't come to me when I tried calling it over. It looks like a shepherd mix and seems a little frightened. I called smithtown animal shelter but no one answered.

A dog matching this description was just on my street, Lyn Oak Lane, on Monday afternoon. I calledRead More Smithtown Animal Shelter but they wouldn't come. I tried to get the dog but he would not come and growled. The dog does not have a collar on.
