Melting snow from this weekend's blizzard combined with Monday's steady rain has caused flooding across parts of Wantagh.
The access road to the Wantagh State Parkway, Poplar Place, is flooded. Cars were seen swerving out of the way and continuing north on Wantagh Avenue.
Like Bellmore Patch and Merrick Patch on Facebook.
An email sent to the New York State Department of Transportation was not immediately returned.
The National Weather Service is currently calling for more rain and widespread dense fog through the remainder of Monday. Visibility will frequently be reduced to one-quarter mile or less.
Use low-bean headlights when driving and leave plenty of distance ahead in case a sudden stop is needed.

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...…Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!

Molly is actually not my dog , however I understandthe feeling of losing a dog and thought it would…Read More be a good idea to post on the Patch.
Two particular examples are the intersection of Hewlett Avenue and Smith Street and at the intersection of Hewlett Avenue and Merrick Road. Apart from never being cleaned out as part of any regular maintenance activity, I often see debris being deliberately swept into the sewer gratings.
