who else had problems getting to the city this morning?

Good morning everyone! DH and I got to the subway in Forest Hills this morning to discover that NO trains were running to Manhattan! I know that there were train suspensions all over the city, so I hope everyone made it in okay, or took a nice sick day and is staying warm and dry inside.

We decided to drive in, and surprisingly, hit NO traffic and actually arrived on time! Darn...I thought I'd have a short day

I took the bus in and then transferred to the train. I was waiting on the platform for 15 minutes and all the trains were backed up due to floods so I walked to work. Alot of people havent made it in yet.

My train usually gets to Penn at 8:06...today was 8:33. Then I waited about 25 minutes for a freakin subway. I usually get to work around 8:15...I got here at 9:10

What is usually a 15 minute ride from Astoria on the N train was 1 hour and 45 minutes this morning due to flooding in the tunnel, signal problems, etc. I am still wringing out my clothes!

I was 45 minutes late. LIRR 3rd rail problems! At least I had a seat on the train!

All 3 of my trains were delayed.
Its funny that there were problems on the N because there were problems on the 1/2/3/9 & they said to take the N/R.

I knew it was going to be a bad day when the conductor got on the PA system and said that the track looked like a 'train parking lot because the the third rail was underwater.'

Had to walk from Penn, not a big deal, but I'm still a little soggy.
