Four (in 3 cottages) live there year-around. Two more of the cottages owned by LI/NYC folk have heating and are used occasionally in the winter.

Indian Island (actually a peninsula) is now a state park and a golf course. It used to be a duck farm.

South Jamesport Beach is a town beach on the Great Peconic Bay. The water is shallow and the waves very weak so it is popular with families that have small children.

This is our favorite NF beach. It is on LI Sound just 4 miles north of our cottage.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Even though we are now in Texoma we still get news and alerts for the North Fork since it is too much trouble to turn things on and off twice a year.
Usually no big deal. Now, however, a monster snow storm threatens the east coast. I am getting alerts from the cable provider, the power company, the town, the NWS and 3 online LI news services. Yep, I know a big storm is on its way there. I am happy that I am here and don't have to deal with it.
I also follow things in the town where I grew up in eastern Massachusetts so I am getting some of those snow alerts too.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Well, 55 to 60 years ago such a storm would have been very disappointing to me. No snow days off from school! Snow starting late Friday then ending late Saturday so the roads could be cleared on Sunday and school opened as usual on Monday? What's the point of snow if you don't get a day off from school?RiverheadLOCAL

A blizzard warning is now in effect for tonight through tomorrow night for heavy snow and strong winds gusting to 60 mph, with blizzard or near-blizzard conditions likely tomorrow, National Weather Service forecasters said. Travel will be extremely difficult to impossible, the weather service said. Total snow accumulations of 12 to 16 inches are possible, according to the National Weather Service.
Of course I and my brother would have been put to work Sunday shoveling the driveway and the front walk and our elderly neighbors' driveways and walks but it was the principle of the thing. Snow means time off from school. Snow on a weekend was just wrong.

Heavy snow continues to fall across the North Fork as blizzard conditions have forced residents to hunker down at home.
There was 12 inches of snow recorded in Orient as of 8 a.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service, with snow continuing to fall throughout the morning and afternoon. A blizzard warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. Saturday.

The wife of Mrs. V's cousin who lives on the Circle sent us this photo of our cottage taken today.

Well that doesn't look too bad, and I'm guessing it will all be gone by late April.

Actually one April when I flew up to open our cottage there were still piles of snow that had been plowed off of the runways at the MacArthur LI Airport.

Not the North Fork.
My cousin on Cape Cod reports nearly 2 feet of snow and her electricity is out.
My home town to the north of her has had 25 inches and more is falling.

Re: Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
I spoke to my BFF ( who lives on the north shore of Suffolk County) at 12:30 EST today and there were already 15" on the ground. By the time we got off the phone around 2 PM she could not see out of the windows and said it was a total white out.
Since I got stuck in Northern Michigan in December, I did get to see a snow plow in action for the first time in 30 years (or more). I'm good for another 30.

It's beginning to look a lot like Xmas... (a bit late)
No, I don't want any of that snow stuff 4 decades was enough.

Just waking up, Long Island? You might want to spend the morning inside. With the wind, the feels-like temperature is around or below zero. Plus, driving into work, there are some patchy icy spots. The full forecast NOW on

So no thaw today on the NoFo.
