Travel delays continue Tuesday as storm slams Northeast

Travel continues to be upended as a major winter storm makes its way through the Northeast after blanketing the New York City area and parts of the Midwest with large amounts of snow.

The National Weather Service said a foot of snow or more could be on the ground in New England by the time it finally tapers off in the northernmost states by Wednesday evening, causing even more disruptions for public transportation.

Due to the "inclement weather," select Amtrak routes in the Northeast will be running on a modified schedule Tuesday. The modified services include:

• Acela Service (Boston – New York – Washington, DC) 
• Northeast Regional Service (Boston – New York – Washington, DC - Virginia) 
• Keystone Service (Harrisburg – Philadelphia – New York) 
• Empire Service (New York – Albany) 

However, Metro-North will resume regular service on Tuesday after being temporarily shut down. There will be some minor service changes to the schedule and passengers are encouraged to check online for train times throughout the day.

Some NJ Transit services will also be operating on a different schedule and may have a delayed start due to the "continuing significant impacts of the snowstorm."

With flakes falling since Sunday evening, the National Weather Service said more than 13 inches of snow had fallen in Manhattan’s Central Park as of 1 p.m., and as much as 16 inches was reported in northern New Jersey.

Although the heaviest parts of the storm had moved through the metropolitan area by Monday evening, lighter snow showers were expected to continue virtually all day Tuesday, forecaster James Tomasini said.
