The rain and slightly warmer weather have finally been melting the snow across Long Island, but now people are going to have to go through the cleanup process all over again.

Hardware stores are stocking up on salt, shovels, ice scrapers, and windshield wiper fluid. During the last storm, many businesses saw a shortage of some of those items. This time, they’re once again looking ahead and reaching out to suppliers so they have what people need.

“People come in they buy them all up and then we have to wait till our next shipment to get more,” said Remy Boyce, an employee at Kings West Hardware. “We try to have what we can. But when people buy it it’s a good thing for us. We want people to buy our products, but we can run out and we have.”

Some people across Long Island say they aren't happy about another storm, but that they’re ready to pull out their snowblowers and shovels once again.

“It's unbelievable.,” said Ed Pecinka, of Wantagh. “I haven't seen this much snow since I was a kid.”

During the last snowstorm, the Town of Islip struggled to fully clear certain roads because of all the cars parked along the shoulder.

This time, they’re threatening to ticket anyone who parks on the street.

“I understand where they’re coming from,” said Chris Harvey, of North Bay Shore. “But sometimes you have no other option.”

Harvey collects cars and says he doesn’t have enough room in his driveway to get all his vehicles off the street when it snows.

“My car needs a battery right now,” Harvey said. “I don’t have time to go get one before the plows come on Sunday.”

Islip Public Works Commissioner Tom Owens says keeping the roads clear is essential for plows to do their jobs.

“The last couple storms it was a real problem. It was really dangerous," Owens said.

He also warns that plows may end up getting more snow in your driveway.

"We do have to do the road from curb to curb,” Owens said. “So, if they could just be patient. We don't get any joy out of filling their driveway in."

The town wants to remind homeowners and businesses that it’s their responsibility to clear snow from sidewalks, fire hydrants and mailboxes on their property.
