New York is expecting SOME snow, but nothing like Philly and other areas further south will be getting.New York is looking at 1-4" from this storm. DC is looking at 2-3 feet for example. |

I don't think they'll go THAT extreme:More than likely, maybe Plan 1 at worst since only 1-4" of snow is expected. Anything worse would be because of wind, not snow in NYC. On the other hand, Philly is expecting 8-14" (actually down from earlier), while points south are expecting more. |

It is not incompetence.It is a situation where equipment and empty tracks are not in the same place, it is a situation where crews are not where they are needed. After all, if you lay-up a train on 4th Avenue, then you are not at 95th Street to take out the next interval. A train is delayed 5 minutes, and there is no equipment for the next train. The Snow Hits the Fan. Big deal. Deal with it. ROAR |

But they should remove those posters on the platforms where G.O.s would have been in effect. . .Dowtown 96 and 72 on the IRT West Side and R stations from City Hall to Lawrence come into mind as well as wayfind signage at Times Square and Grand Central for the 7. |

They really made a mistake if they went Plan 4, with only 3 inches expected city wide.I agree they should have called a Plan 2 modified if anything i guess better safe than sorry on thier part. Heh 2 inches of snow on the ground in the Bronx and they got snowbrids all over the place. Now Coney Island and Southern Crooklyn may get more though. My job tomorrow still has the reported G.O. time on it. Report your regular time all G.O's are Double-O-Sixed... |

Lol, you (used to, or maybe still do) see that at Union Turnpike on weekends where you have folks staring at the OOS E & Fs sitting on the express track although it's been a while since I been that way so I don't know if on off hours if they still leave OOS laid up on those tracks |

If they want to have him report early, I'd take the check and smile. Maybe it's time for them to do a plan 9 - all service suspended. It's the LIRR thing to do. :) |

Which makes sense because the snow totals have increased considerably from where they were when I said Plan 1.Also, it may not be entirely because of snow. There is also going to be a ton of WIND howling on Saturday and Sunday (the Jersey Shore, which is going to pounded worse than we are has had blizzard warnings in effect since Thursday night). |

I don't think its just the snow:We also have 30-50 MPH WINDS in this forecast, and that may have played into this decision for a plan 4. Plus, the snow totals have gone up considerably from what was forecast (Philly was expecting 8-14", now its 14-20"). |
