Tuesday's Post-Sandy Clean-Up Weather

Things calm down a whole lot a day after Sandy wreaks havoc on Long Island

Good morning, Long Island – here's the forecast for your Tuesday post-Sandy Patch Forecast, via the National Weather Service.

Daytime

Tuesday morning will see the leftover effects from Sandy winding down throughout the morning. Hide tide, which last hit our area around 8:45 p.m. last night, will hit the Great South Bay around 9:10 a.m. – anyone left in low-lying areas, including the flood zones, should be ready for a second smaller surge. Absolutely no where near last night's record breaking floods, but still rising.

Showers will continue throughout the morning hours, but should be light in nature. Long Island was really spared the worst of Sandy's rains and that trend will continue. Winds will be gusty still, sustained between 15 and 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph. Sustained winds aren't going to be damaging, but will be enough to have loosen objects knocked off things like trees. Highs for the day are in the mid 60s.

Evening

The evening will continue to see the chance of showers as Sandy makes a dramatic turn to the north over the Appalachians and the large storm will wrap in some winds and rain behind it. Again, rains should be lighter than we saw on Monday. Winds will lessen as the night comes on, down to 15 mph at the hardest. Lows will be in the mid 50s.

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
