For all you
Bellport "Snowbirds" in Florida, California, and Arizona, we
thought you'd enjoy seeing what you're missing. We hope you
appreciate our being out there at 7:00am to take these photos for
you!
After
we first posted these photos, we received an email from
Martha Phipps, a Bellport native who now lives in Texas.
She had shared this terrific story with us:
"Thank
you, thank you for the beautiful snow pictures of Bellport! Now
I am really homesick…They certainly bring back many fond
memories for me including the blizzard of 1955 (or ’56) which
began one March evening while I was at a meeting at the
Methodist Church with my parents. My Dad (I was 10 years old)
had to drive down South Country with his window down just to see
the road. Our car got stuck about a block from our home on
Bieselin Road and we had to make a chain of people (my parents,
my brother and myself) to get to our house. The wind was blowing
about 40-50 and I thought I was going to perish in the snow.
When we‘d left our home, it was clear. So I just had a light
jacket and a dress on; when we finally got to our house, my legs
were blue. And the next day we discovered that our car was up in
the middle of our neighbor’s yard about four houses away as we’d
become completely disoriented. What a memory!"

I know dogs like to chase a ball, but a
snowball? |

Hey, it's Bellport... You have to "loop the
dock" at least once a day! |

Boy, was it
