Snow Emergency In Patchogue Lifted

UPDATE: The snow emergency was lifted by Mayor Paul Pontieri at noon, Village Clerk Lori Devlin said.

PATCHOGUE, NY — A Snow Emergency remains in effect in Patchogue Village, while officials are asking for some patience as crews continue to remove snow, and they have canceled some services like garbage collection.

"We regret to inform you that our crew needs an additional day for snow removal, which means there will be no garbage pickup," a post read on the village's Facebook page.

Village Hall is expected to open on Tuesday, and the Village Board Meeting to go on as planned at 6 p.m.

The Snow Emergency requires residents to park their vehicles off the roadways to allow for snow removal and the application of salt to the roadways.

It began Sunday at 12 p.m. and will remain in effect until further notice.

So far, some areas of the region have seen up to two and a half feet of snow.

Any vehicles left parked in the street, will have to be towed to one of the village's municipal parking lots, and the tow fee, which usually runs around $125, will be charged back to the owner.

Residents will be able to park vehicles in the municipal lots if they cannot park off the street.

A travel ban remains in effect for non-essential vehicles.
