Nassau County, New York

Get your Hempstead driveway and sidewalk shoveled

The Town of Hempstead covers a large stretch of Nassau County, from postwar subdivisions in Levittown and East Meadow to the South Shore communities of Freeport, Baldwin and Oceanside. Most homes are single-family houses with a driveway, a front walk and a public sidewalk along the street. When plows pass, the snow they push aside usually ends up across the bottom of the driveway.

Snow, sidewalks and the rules in Hempstead

Hempstead's winters are shaped by the Atlantic, so nor'easters can bring heavy, wet snow one day and rain the next. South Shore neighborhoods near the water often see more mixing than areas farther north in the town.

Typical snowfall. The NOAA normals station at Oceanside, a hamlet in the Town of Hempstead, averages about 26 inches of snow a season (25.5 inches, 1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
