I have thought about this and decided I would attempt to leave on my tiny boat rather than sit in traffic. Going from the South Shore it would be difficult though
especially when the water is frozen like it is now.
I started out 25A -> Nicolls south. Hit a dead stop shortly after the main SBU entrance. Crept along (15 mins) to the south entrance. Cut across campus and made the left onto Stony Brook Road. It was backed up from the farmhouse just north of the rugby fields @ Oxhead. Crept along to Hallock, made a right onto Hallock. Made it down Hallock. Things on Hallock didn't back up until Marshalls/Home Goods.
I followed the exact same route on the way home last night and hit an hour of traffic at 7:30 PM!! This commute normally takes me 5-7minutes.
Why weren't there any plows out working during the day yesterday? After seeing how bad the morning rush was, you would think ole' Brookhaven would have sent the plows out in full force midday to avert the same disaster at night.
So, my wife sends me on errands (aka Xmas shopping) at 830pm last night to Target near Roosevelt Field.
I'm thinking...it's almost 9pm...no big deal. There won't be too much traffic.
My home to RF is about 4 miles. It took me ONE HOUR to get there. No joke. What a nightmare. Old Country Rd was backed up from RF all the way back to the Mineola Courthouses!!!
Why does every household in LI have to own 3 or more cars?? It's just ridiculous.
I don't think I will ever go to RF again between Dec 20th and January 1st.

Because public transportation is for poor people...y'know like Manhattan.

They'd probably do what they did Houston, make streets/highways all one way.
But I do agree that'd it'd be a very tough evacuation, 7-million Long Islanders over less than 10 bridges/tunnels, they'd have to start evacuating people from very early on.
Another reason to then to make the bridge to Connecticut...

Couldnt agree more.
