New York Today: A Snowy Evening Commute
In New Jersey, heavy snow has toppled trees and taken down power lines, disrupting travel along multiple New Jersey Transit rail lines.
• New Jersey Transit has told commuters to leave New York as early as possible.
New Jersey Transit bus service is suspended on all routes.
Currently, power outages are affecting more than 17,000 customers in the city
and Westchester, more than 184,000 in New Jersey, 21,500 on Long Island, and at least 7,700 people upstate.
Service is suspended on the Gladstone and Montclair Boonton train lines in both directions; on the Morris & Essex line between Dover to Summit;
and on the Atlantic City rail line between Philadelphia 30th St. and Atlantic City.
The five boroughs and Westchester are on track to get anywhere between 7
and 11 inches of snow, and some areas of New Jersey may see as much as 20 inches.
• New York City appointed its first nightlife mayor.
After 8 p.m., service will be hourly on the Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines.
• Roads: A travel advisory is in effect for all areas east of Interstate 81, essentially, the entire eastern half of New York State.
Express service is expected to be reduced as the snow picks up.
