Getting in and around New York City remains difficult following the sixth biggest snowstorm in the city's history.

New Yorkers are still digging out after nearly two feet of snow fell on the city Sunday. The storm deposited 20 inches of snow on Central Park, with 16 inches of snow reported in Astoria, Queens, 22.5 inches in the Soundview section of the Bronx, 24 inches in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and 22 inches in Eltingville, Staten Island.

The accumulation in conjunction with high winds have resulted in snow drifts of up to three to five feet in some areas.

The Sanitation Department is working to clear the streets, but snow plow drivers are being slowed by abandoned cars. Officials are urging New Yorkers not to shovel snow back into streets that have been plowed.

Local airports, the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North and the city's subway and bus system are reporting varying degrees of operation this morning.

As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, all subway lines are experiencing delays or service changes.

The entire 7 train is running local in both directions.

There is no L train service between Myrtle-Wyckoff Station and Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway Station in both directions.

There is no Q train service between Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard Station in Queens and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station in Brooklyn in both directions.

There is no N train service between Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station and 59th Street Station in Brooklyn in both directions.

There is no D train service between Bay Parkway Station and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station in Brooklyn in both directions.

B train service has been suspended between Bedford Park Boulevard Station in the Bronx and Brighton Beach Station in Brooklyn.

There is no Franklin shuttle between Franklin Avenue Street and Prospect Avenue Stations.

John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports have reopened after all three facilities were closed to all air traffic on Sunday. There were, however, massive delays reported at all three facilities.

The AirTrain service to JFK has been suspended and free shuttle bus service is being provided from all Terminals, Howard Beach and Jamaica Stations.

About 4,500 flights were canceled Sunday and Monday, according to Port Authority.

Thousands of airline passengers were stranded on Sunday due to the weather, with the Port Authority providing cots and blankets to those affected.

The Associated Press also reports that the popular travel period between Christmas and New Years means that it might take two or three days – or possibly longer – before all stranded passengers can be rebooked onto other flights.

Amtrak has limited service between Boston and Washington, D.C.

Early Monday morning, about a dozen subway riders were stuck for more than six hours on a Queens A train. Earlier, about 200 straphangers had to be evacuated when a Q train got stuck in Brooklyn.

The storm also left hundreds of New Yorkers in the dark. Consolidated Edison officials said as of 11 a.m. Tuesday there were 24 customers without power in Brooklyn; 170 customers without power in Queens; 19 without power on Staten Island; 232 without power in Manhattan; and 38 without power in the Bronx.

Con Ed officials said that extra overhead line crews were out working in the affected areas.

The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), which serves the Rockaway Peninsula, says 20 customers were still without power as of early Monday night.

At a news conference Monday afternoon, city officials said they were focusing on salting the primary roads and plowing secondary and tertiary streets.

The mayor took a tour of all five boroughs yesterday to assess the progress. He told reporters he understands people's frustrations, but that the city is doing all it can to clean up quickly.

"Is it better or worse, depends on where you happen to be. On balance, I think you'll find we kept the city safe and we're cleaning it and when we get done, it'll probably take the same amount of time that any storm of this magnitude with a lot of winds would have taken," said Bloomberg. "If they get to your street quicker, you're happier."

The New York City Fire Department said that at one point yesterday, there was a backlog of 1,300 less-urgent requests due to the volume of calls and impassable roads.

Officials are urging New Yorkers to only call 911 for an emergency.

Thousands of city workers ended their holiday breaks early Sunday to prepare the five boroughs for the wintry weather.

The Department of Sanitation put more than 2,000 salters and plows on the road manned by some 4,000 sanitation workers doing 12-hour shifts.

Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty is urging New Yorkers to be patient as crews work to clear more than 6,000 miles of city pavement.

"A lot will depend on how much people cooperate and that's a good point. I mean if people dig out and they don't plow the snow in the street again when they plow their car or their driveway, it's going to go quicker," Doherty said. "But if they continue to throw it out in the street, we have to go back there and clear that street and consequently we don't get to that tertiary street or that dead end street that we're trying to get to and clean out."

Some drivers tried pressing their luck on the slippery streets in Jamaica, Queens, while many others braved the elements on foot.

"I went Manhattan, I try to take the bus, the Q10, but there's no bus, then I take taxi, and then we take subway," said one New Yorker. "F train working to Roosevelt, then stopped. Then I took E train, get off 53rd Street walk there, but nobody's there. I don't see nobody, the street is dead a lot of mess. I came back."

Some 24-hour gas stations and convenience stores are open, though store owners said they spent the hours shoveling – not helping customers.

There is no need to move cars during the storm, as meter rules were suspended Sunday and alternate side of the street parking was suspended through Monday.

The DOS clean-up efforts costs millions for each storm, but officials say it will help emergency vehicles get around the city and other vital services in the five boroughs.

Recycling and trash collection has also been suspended citywide to facilitate the clearing of the streets.

DOS officials are also looking for private companies to provide extra heavy-duty equipment to assist in ice and snow removal.

The city is looking for licensed operators of front-end loaders, bobcats, excavators, dump trucks, tractor trailers, and more. Anyone interested is being asked to call the city's hotline at 311 for more information.

DOS officials also want New Yorkers' help in salting and shoveling out sidewalks.

In that spirit, many city residents flocked to hardware stores Sunday morning to buy salt, shovels, snow blowers and other supplies.

At the Home Depot in Park Hill on Staten Island, a store manager told NY1 that 400 shovels were snatched up within the first hour.

The Port Authority suggested travelers check with their carriers before they head out.

"We don't want people going to the airport and having to spend days at the airport waiting for a flight to open up," said Steve Coleman of the Port Authority. "So it's better to stay where you happen to be, whether it's a private home or a hotel. All the airlines make the accommodations you can make and stay put wherever you happen to be today."

Most carriers were waiving fees they normally charged for one-time changes in affected areas.

The city Department of Health is reminding New Yorkers to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by clearing snow from exhaust pipes before starting car engines. They also say residents should avoid running cars in enclosed spaces, and to clear snow from the vents of combustion appliances.

Additionally, residents should never heat their home with a stove or oven. Also, never use kerosene or oil-burning heaters indoors.

On the lighter side, the mayor said that Broadway shows continued performing Sunday night and that theatergoers were advised to take mass transit.

He also noted that the city Parks Department will hold offer free hot chocolate and sleds in one spot in each borough.

Sunny conditions are expected to return Tuesday and Wednesday, and temperatures by the end of the week will reach the low 50s.
