Snow+Sleet+Rain = Be Careful on Your Commute

2008_12_snowa.jpgWhile yesterday's snow was beautiful, it's making for a messy commute this morning across the Tri-State region. WCBS 2 reports, "In the hardest hit areas, mostly in New Jersey, about 2 to 3 inches of snow were measured... As the morning continues however, most of the precipitation is rain." But add the rain to the snow, and it's a headache for drivers...though not so much for the kids with late school openings. There were also a number of "multiple minor, apparently weather-related accidents" on Long Island; the state DOT was out making sure roads stayed a little less slippery. Additionally, today is a gridlock alert day in the city!

Hey Honey, I know what to do for New York for Christmas, lets leave the SUV in Scarsdale today and take the train!

What a great idea! I''m sure they'll love that dear, you're so considerate.

No commuting problems if you live in the City and take sensible mass transit. If you drive, you get what you ask for.

It doesn't have to snow for trains to have problems; MNRR, LIRR and the subways.
