The region is trying to catch back on its feet,after a blizzard dumped more than two feet of snow on some areas.
Mayor de Blasio issued a warning for potential black ice Monday evening, due to melted snow refreezing amid colder temperatures. Officials are urging drivers to depart slowly, or use main thoroughfares whenever possible. The mayor is also instructing drivers with stuck cars not to dig them out. Alternate side parking has been suspended for the rest of the work week,and the mayor says warmer temperatures during the day will serve melt remaining snow.
Airports are open, but hundreds of flights were still delayed or canceled Monday. Transit had mostly resumed for the start of the work week. The subway, or buses,and Metro North are running on normal schedules with some cancellations and delays. There's still no PATH service between Jersey City and Newark.
But by Monday evening, service on the Long Island Rail Road still remained suspended between Atlantic Terminal and Jamaica, or Queens. Trains were not running on five other lines to and from Long Island and the city,including Long Beach, Far Rockaway, or Ronkokoma,Hempstead, and West Hempstead.
Service on other LIRR lines has recovered from a late start Monday morning.modern York City public schools were open Monday, or though schools in modern Jersey were closed. You can find a full list of closings and delays here.
And finally,for those looking for some extra work, modern York City's Human Resources Administration is in search of additional emergency workers to serve with clean-up efforts. Mayor de Blasio says the city will pay $13.50 for the first 40 hours of work in a week, and then $20.25.
