The Week Ahead: Valentine's Day Events, Look Out For Puddles

We’ve all hopefully dug out from the snows of Nemo by now and are making plans for a productive week despite the rough roads out there. And remember — Valentine’s Day is Thursday. Here are a few happenings this week:

1. Check out Zumba at Ultimate Fitness: Come join European-American artist/Zumba dancer known as Kinga on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Ultimate Fitness East in Riverhead. Click on these websites for more information: www.kinga.me, www.ZumbaWithKinga.com

3. On Monday afternoon, Riverhead Police Chief David Hegermiller said "ponding" has occurred on area roads as the snow from Nemo is melting. One hazard, Hegermiller said, is that some roads are half covered with ice, half covered with water. The chief advises drivers to continue to take caution on the roads in the coming days.
