CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: In New York, the first significant snow of the season was welcomed by some, cursed by others and ignored by most. CNN's Deborah Feyerick is at -- let me get this straight. How do I say this, Deborah, Ronkonkoma, Long Island?</s>DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN ANCHOR: Ronkonkoma is in Long Island, it's about an hour and a half from Manhattan. I want to tell you, the slush that is all along the roads is making driving pretty dangerous. Commuters have been telling us that it is very slow going. This mushy snow is freezing because it is just so cold out here, and people are sprinting from their cars in this parking garage into the waiting room and then into the trains. They are wasting no time getting out of the cold.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There's a few open spots, and the wind just goes right through them and right through you. You can't really get warm when the wind blows like this. House can't get warm, you can't get warm, continual chill, but you've got to put up with it.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: As long as you stay indoors it's OK, it's not bothering us too -- the roads are terrible, though.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's not bad. If this is all we get for the winter, I'll take this.</s>FEYERICK: The wind chills right now making it feel like 20 below, and one woman said, bring on the summer. She said, even though it has been a very mild winter, we've been very lucky. So -- although it is very cold out here, at least it hasn't been too bad. Reporting live, Deborah Feyerick, CNN, New York.</s>LIN: Well, Deb, we'll see if it gets any better.
