(Bloomberg) — New York, Washington and the U.S. Mid- Atlantic on Sunday shoveled away more than two feet of snow from a blizzard that brought the region to a standstill, grounded more than 13,000 flights, cut power for several hundred thousand customers, and was blamed for at least 18 deaths.
Highways and roads around New York City opened at 7 a.m. Sunday and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority began modified subway and bus service, according to a website status report. Service on outdoor rail lines in New York City will resume at 9 a.m., New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement on his website. Limited flights were scheduled to resume Sunday at New York’s three major airports.
“As crews continue to respond to the storm and the severity of weather conditions decrease, we are lifting the travel ban so New Yorkers can resume their daily routines,” “Public safety is of paramount importance and we encourage New Yorkers to continue exercising caution while traveling.”
