'Juno' Weather Storm Path & Snow Forecast Update: New York Lifts Travel Ban
Winter Storm Juno did not make historic expectations in New York Monday to Tuesday morning.
Governor Andrew Cuomo lifted the travel ban Tuesday during a press conference, Washington Times reported. He warned drivers to still stay off the roads.
Previously, residents in New York caught driving on the road were given $300 fines.
Mass transportation opened Tuesday morning after being closed since 11 p.m. Monday night. The MTA and PATH are running on a Sunday schedule following Governor Chris Christie's lift of the travel ban for New Jersey as well.
Meanwhile, as the day moved into Tuesday, Boston prepared for a dangerous storm, according to The Weather Channel.
As the city faced wind gusts of 62 miles per hour, the National Weather Service warned that the strongest winds have yet to reach Boston.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation sent over 3,000 crew members to clear out state roads late Monday night.
Commuters had to deal with delays and a couple of trains running out of service Monday evening during the city's blizzard warning. Buses were used as alternates Monday night for delayed trains although commuters had to wait for up to 45 minutes.
As the storm approaches Boston, the MBTA is closed all day and night Tuesday. A blizzard warning is still in effect from 7 p.m. Monday to 1 a.m. Wednesday which could bring up to two feet of snow.
"Boston has been through blizzards before and I'm confident we are prepared," Mayor Martin J. Walsh said. "But a storm this size poses a threat to the safety of our residents in many different ways, and we are taking it very seriously. I urge everyone to do their part: to put safety first."
