Harry Posted January 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2014 MTA New York City Transit, MTA Metro-North Railroad, MTA Long Island Rail Road, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels are preparing for winter weather conditions expected to affect our region through Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service is calling for extreme cold for the next several days and snow predicted to follow Thursday into Friday. MTA personnel will continue to monitor the U.S. National Weather Service and have direct access to a customized weather prediction service that provides regularly updated weather forecasts. Accurate forewarning of a snow event translates into adequate preparation times, allowing officials to decide whether to hold workers after their shifts and bring others in prior to the beginning of a storm.

peacemak3r Posted January 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2014 I have generators at my home so I don't need to worry about that either, my internet lines are underground as well so I'm clear there. Only thing I'd probably be worried is if the professor's utilities goes out (god forbid), but it would not of been our fault either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 2, 2014 I have no problem trekking from Hart Blvd & Forest Avenue just like I did last time it snowed. Let's hope they actually put chains on the wheels tomorrow and I get to school without too much issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeLow Posted January 2, 2014 Share #10 Posted January 2, 2014 Just heard that the LIE will be closed at the Queens/Nassau County line in both directions starting Midnite, lasting until 5AM Friday. This might affect any MTA workers who use their cars to get to/from work. Everyone, be sure to check your transportation options before heading out. Be careful and be safe.

TeeLow Posted January 2, 2014 Share #12 Posted January 2, 2014 Another MTA update from Ch 7 Eyewitness News: ALL Express service will end at approx 545PM. There will be no express subway service across the 5 boros after 545PM. That's the latest from Ch 7 Eyewitness News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #14 Posted January 2, 2014 Hart Blvd & Forest to Graniteville? That's a long walk... Nah, to the Ferry. That's where the S48 stopped because there was already 2 buses stuck on the hill. At the top, there was a 98 that had to have left 35-40 minutes before me. On Victory, NOTHING was moving. Missed the ferry by 4 minutes. Now, I have walked from the Ferry to my house which takes an hour and a half. I've also walked from Flatbush Bklyn, to my house via Ferry (Stood Up), that took about 4-4/12 hours. Also walked the length of Manhattan one night, that took 6 and a half hours.

RollOver Posted January 2, 2014 Share #17 Posted January 2, 2014 Is the suspended? If it isn't, then I don't see any positives about why is it still running when the is 100% local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrylbaniaga38 Posted January 3, 2014 Share #20 Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like trains started going local. My that I got on went local after 71st. Also saw a couple of OOS and trains getting stored away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted January 3, 2014 Share #21 Posted January 3, 2014 There's still Express in Manhattan right now. Idk why though They probably didn't throw everyone onto the local tracks at 5:45 on the dot, but made all trips starting after that time run local only. That's what they've done in the past with these types of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3F Posted January 3, 2014 Share #22 Posted January 3, 2014 I got on an express train at Sheepshead Bay at about 6:50, and I'm pretty sure it didn't start before 5:45. It was on the local tracks though, skipping the local stations on the local track. (Stayed on the local tracks after Kings Hwy) They were using the express tracks to drive various OOS and trains to the storage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted January 3, 2014 Share #24 Posted January 3, 2014 Guys, people stop flooding my inbox with stupid Plan 4 questions. Service diversions are handled on a CASE BY CASE basis. If they have a clear track to run normal, they will, otherwise they will be re-routed as needed, This "OMG NO EXPRESS SERVICE AT ALL AT 5:45 ON THE DOT!!!" is media overreaction and the MTA never stated that ALL service would be running local. Snowbirds never get laid up between 59 and 125 so expect service to continue running express on that stretch all night (assuming there aren't any overnight GOs). As of 2100, the was still running, the and were running express on CPW, and N/B service will run local to BPK (possibly still express in Brooklyn), and then change ends for a snow bird.
