Dear Neighbors:
If you have a fire hydrant on or in front of your property, it is critical that you clear the snow from it following a snowstorm. For the fire department to respond to a fire as quickly as possible, they need immediate access to the hydrants. Thank you for your help.
This weekend is going to be extremely cold. Temperatures will be in the single digits and wind chills will be below zero. Please dress properly when going out to avoid frostbite. Village Hall will be available as a warming station if needed.
On Tuesday of this week, a coyote was seen and photographed walking on the beach behind Village Hall.

Dear Neighbors,
I want to thank Police Officers Chris Amendolare and Joseph D'Alessandro for their outstanding response to a house fire on the night of last Sunday's snowstorm. An automatic smoke alarm alerted the Police Department and the Northport Fire Department. Officers Amendolare and D'Alessandro were first on the scene, located the source of the fire, and were able to contain it with snow until the Fire Department arrived. The Northport Fire Department was assisted by the Eaton's Neck and East Northport Fire Departments. Additional thanks go to the responding Northport Police Officers and to Koran Landscaping for plowing out the driveway. The rapid response by all involved saved the home. Excellent work by everyone.
On Tuesday, February 3rd at 6:30pm, the Village Board will hold a public hearing to receive public input on a proposed local law addressing zombie houses:
The proposed law was also previously emailed. Comments may be submitted by email to the Village Clerk at mglennon@asharokenny.org or made in person at the meeting.
The long-range forecast indicates minimal snowfall on Sunday, as the storm is expected to remain far offshore. However, strong north and northwest winds are anticipated.
Former Village Trustee Joe Tilleli sent me a wonderful photo of a red-tailed hawk perched on a mailbox, which I am pleased to share with you.
Wishing you a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica

Dear Neighbors:
Severe winter weather is forecast for the coming days. From tonight through Saturday, temperatures will be bitterly cold with high winds. A major snowstorm is expected on Sunday, and power outages are possible.
Please complete storm preparations today and tomorrow. Once snowfall begins on Sunday, residents are strongly advised to stay off the roads. Conditions near the seawall may be hazardous, particularly around high tide at 4pm, when freezing spray could come over the wall. Temporary road closures near the seawall are possible. Real-time updates on road closures and re-openings will be posted here on our website
asharoken.com
and on X at @asharokenny.
If you need assistance, please contact the Asharoken Police Department at 631-261-7400.
My best advice for Sunday is to hunker down, stay warm, and enjoy the football games. Please be safe.
This week, PBA officials Brian O'Connor, Alex Rubino and I signed a new four-year contract for the Asharoken Police Department. This agreement positions the Village to continue attracting and retaining highly qualified officers.
Two weeks ago, a very rare Ross's Goose visited Asharoken. I first spotted it in Northport Bay among a flock of Canada geese, and later it relocated to the Village Hall parking lot. I have been birding since 1981, and this was only my second sighting of this species.
Wishing you a safe weekend,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica
