Readers: Thanks a Million to the Plow People

Facebook commenters gave their thank-yous to hardworking highway department workers for clearing area roads.

Some locals might be frustrated by the plowing in parts of town, but workers have been pulling long shifts to get roads cleared, and many have wanted to extend "thank yous" to those workers.

Here's some feedback we got from Westhampton-Hampton Bays Facebook fans on those whose job never seems to be over during and after big snows. Feel free to comment in the boxes below, add pictures to this post and share your snow stories.
