Ed Lizard Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I lived a block from the Great South Bay in Nassau Shores, the houses across the street backed up to a canal, and our storm sewers had 'killies' in the water, and sometimes I'd drop pieces of meat from the fridge to watch a mini-feeding frenzy. No flooding at all, only damage besides power was a lot of weeping willow trees went down, one punching a hole in a neighbor's roof. Blizzard of 1978, water came up from the storm sewer, snow was discolored over it, how I knew. Used to use metal mash traps with two entrances, baited with anything, that caught 'killies' and small shrimp. Killies were good live bait for 'snapper' fishing. I *think* snapper are immature bluefish, they school together, you either caught a dozen in an hour or just struck out. Some had some kind of gill parasite, looked like a white potato bug, but I never ate the gills anyway. I'd clean and fillet them, and when Dad was BBQing anyway, I'd cook some up on foil. Weird, but I tried a little cinnamon once with the S&P, and it worked. Oh, my old house on Leewater by Curlew in Nassau Shores would have flooded several feet deep in Sandy (I have seen YouTubes from neighboring, parallel streets), and had a basement (with a sub pump), but my sister says they repaired it. BTW, mainly from the Sunrise Highway trips and the LIRR, but I always thought of Long Beach as basically being part of Queens. Rockville Centre was almost Queens for me. Dad's mother was bedridden in Glendale, although we usually took the Southern State into Queens, and from there, I just remember a highway that went under another highway with an elevated train line on top. WE'd do Sunrise to a highway in Seaford, and then the Southern State. Rumor in the 1970s was the Seaford expressway would be extended across Long Island Sound via a bridge. That'd have knocked about two hours off the trips to Cape Cod (Harwichport) we did several Summers. Also vacationed once near where my Mom's mother was from (and is buried), Marshfield.

West Milford Highlander Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Pakistan guarded and protected Bin Laden. I would start there. The plane crashed in the ocean. Enough with the conspiracy theories. Sounds similar to the theories that a blizzard is going to hit every 7-10 days based on what one model shows 240+ hours out. #mediahypemachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
