CITY ISLAND SPARED?

Submitted by Admin on

The snow is now arriving, but so far not much else, other than strong winds last night. We've been lucky so far.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service had issued a "hazardous weather outlook" for New York City, but it doesn't look like heavy snow fall will be the big issue on City Island.

Knock on wood, do not expect lot's of snow here because this puppy may have decided to go in another direction. Let's keep our fingers crossed and our eyes on City Island Images live camera on midtown City Island. That is City Island avenue and Fordham street.
