Listen, we got service running.

The challenges are well known.

We got to keep our snow fighting equipment.

We got jet engine snow blowers operating on the subways, literally clearing the tracks, especially in the outdoor areas.

The challenge of buses moving around is the same as any vehicle.

But we are meeting the challenge, Tom, Paul.

We're running full subway service, albeit on a little reduced frequencies.

We got buses out there.

Metro North is operating on a reduced schedule.

The one piece of our system that is on suspension is the Long Island Railroad.

It's no secret that Long Island's getting hammered, and that wasn't the same place to operate.

But otherwise, subways, buses, commuter rail operating.

The issue with wind mostly is actually the impact it has on drifting.

For example, we have some areas of the subway system that are what we call an open cut.

That's like a little valley, a depressed area below grade, but it's still open to the sky.

And snow tends to accumulate, and the wind pushes the snow into those areas.

The drifting on the commuter railroads sometimes will cover the third rail, our source of power.

So that is and obviously for for people who are driving buses and even trains, the visibility issues associated with wind, that wind is the dominant factor in determining when we can bring back Long Island Railroad service at the east end of our system.

Yeah, well, we did an orderly shutdown last night at about 1 a.m.

The goal is always to get everybody home.
