Crazy beach erosion on Long Island

[BarryFreed]

Has anyone been out to the Long Island beaches since the thaw? There is an article in today's local paper about how had the erosion is, and the pictures look like a lot of sand has been stripped away. The temperatures have been brutal, but it should be good pickings!

Not sure how much I'm allowed to post, but just a brief clip from the article says:

Work on an $8.4 million beach renourishment project for downtown Montauk is expected to start later this month after winter storm-related delays, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said Sunday.

For reference, that picture was from January 28th. We've been pounded by several major storms since then, so no doubt the erosion is much more severe then even pictured. Today the low was about 25, so it may still be too frozen to check out, but its supposed to climb into the low 50's in a few days. Will try to get out there and post some pics of the crazy erosion if possible.
