Dangerous Snow Piles Around Hauppauge

Record snowfalls have created dangerous piles near local roadways and parking lots.

Hauppauge has been hit by back-to-back winter storms that have dumped snow, freezing rain and sleet on local roadways. 

It started with more than 14 inches of snow from the Dec. 26, 2010 storm and continued to grow with approximately 16 inches on Jan. 12.  The temperature hasn't risen enough to melt the the snow, so the piles kept growing higher on Jan. 26 and 27. 

Patch photographers took the community, finding drifts throughout the community the demonstrated the snow's depth. Do you have any pictures that fit the theme "We've had snow up to here."  Upload them to share or send them to editor Sara Walsh at sara-megan.walsh@patch.com
