NEW YORK CITY Dangerous, blizzard-like conditions prompted New York transit officials to suspend above ground service and weigh other road, rail, bridge and tunnel cancellations.
The above ground suspension will take effect Monday at 2 p.m., said Sarah Feinberg, interim president of New York City Transit Authority. Below ground lines and buses remain running, but future closures could be announced, she said. If you are not home, and you need to get home, you need to start making your way there now, she said shortly after noon.

NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) – A man upset that a bus driver swerved to miss a pedestrian has had another court rule against his lawsuit against the New York City Traffic Authority.
The Appellate Division, First Department ruled Jan. 19 against plaintiff Lawrence Mobley Jr., who says he was caused to fall when a bus driver avoided hitting a pedestrian. The decision affirms a Bronx County grant of summary judgment to the NYCTA.
The NYCTA said its driver was forced to take evasive maneuvers because a pedestrian walked out in front of the bus. The court found the plaintiff failed to submit any evidence to support his argument that the pedestrian had not walked far enough into the bus’ paths to warrant the swerve.
