As the New York City region digs out on Tuesday from a two-day blizzard, some aspects of life are expected to return more or less to normal. Others are decidedly not. Here is a quick rundown.
Transportation
A ban on nonessential driving on city streets was lifted at noon on Monday. The city’s snow plow tracker shows how recently each street was cleared.
Mass transit in the region, which was drastically curtailed during the blizzard, is gradually returning. But many trains and buses are likely to run with limited service or with delays, and some will remain suspended.
-
All of NJ Transit’s train lines are running again with limited schedules. Bus and light rail services are running again on a regular schedule, but the agency said to prepare for delays, detours or cancellations.
-
PATH trains: Regular service has resumed, though there were delays on Hoboken-World Trade Center trains on Tuesday morning.
-
The Long Island Rail Road has resumed limited service on its Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Babylon, Oyster Bay, Montauk and Port Washington branches. There is limited service to Grand Central and no service on the Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach or West Hempstead branches, between Ronkonkoma and Greenport, and between Speonk and Montauk.
-
Metro-North Railroad is running, with limited service.
-
New York City subways and buses: Subways have some delays and route modifications but are running except for the C train and part of the Staten Island Railway. City buses are running with some delays.
-
For service on Amtrak, check with the railroad.
Airports
More than 1,300 flights into or out of New York’s three major airports on Tuesday have been canceled, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware. Here’s what to do if you’re stranded.
Schools
After a very rare snow day on Monday, New York City’s public schools are resuming in-person classes.
Culture
Broadway shows are expected to resume performances on Tuesday night. For museums and other institutions, check before you go. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History plan to open on Tuesday. All zoos and the New York Aquarium will be closed.
