Morning commute: With the snowfall stopping well before rush hour, the subways ran without significant weather-related delays through the morning commute. The Long Island Rail Road and Metro North also reported good service.

New Jersey Transit did not report any major cancellations or delays to service but advised commuters to check its website throughout the day for information. It also said it was allowing customers to use their tickets or passes on rail, light rail, buses and private carriers.

All New York City public schools are closed today, and many other school systems around the region are closed or opened late.

The City University of New York also announced it would be closed.
