NEW YORK — Long Island, prepare to get clobbered. New York City, watch and wait.
A nor’easter set to blanket the tristate area Friday night and Saturday, is likely to bury the Island in a blizzard, with a storm track that could spare the city the worst of it.
The “bomb cyclone” could drop as much as 36 inches in parts of Long Island like Islip, AccuWeather predicted Thursday. More likely, though, 12 to 18 inches will pummel everything from Wantagh to Westhampton.
