1. While children across Long Island rejoiced at the snowstorm on Friday, anyone trying to get across town in the morning hours of the day struggled. The quick-moving snowstorm brought more than half-foot by 7 a.m. in many places on the island. (Sachem Patch)
2. The Suffolk County Government released new coronavirus data on Jan. 5. As of Tuesday, Jan. 4, 6,345 new cases were reported and 23,556 COVID-19 tests were administered. Walk-in vaccination clinics are offering COVID vaccines to Suffolk County residents who are age 5 and older as well as booster doses to all who are eligible. Appointments are recommended.

3. Before the winter storm hit Long Island on Friday, Brookhaven Town urged residents to use 'Common Sense' during the snowstorm.
