This Week In West Hempstead: Week of January 29th
Snow & Weather:
The deep freeze is here. Sidewalks and roads remain icy, Halls Pond is completely frozen, and while there’s talk of another storm on Sunday, it’s looking like a bust for now. Reminder: homeowners are responsible for shoveling sidewalks — but it’s also been great to see neighbors helping neighbors during the dig-out.
