LIRR still suspended; MTA website sluggishThe Long Island Rail Road passenger service was still suspended in both directions Monday morning as the nation's busiest commuter rail system worked to clear snow from its tracks.
"Right now, we have no estimate of when service will resume," spokesman Sam Zambuto said. "We're continuing to work at clearing the third rail and switches."
When service does resume, Zambuto said it would operate on a holiday schedule. Service was still suspended as of 9 a.m. Monday.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Transit Authority's website was experiencing heavy traffic and loading slowly or not at all for commuters trying to get the latest updates.
As much as 16 inches of snow fell in some parts of Long Island, as both Nassau and Suffolk counties were under a blizzard warning until 6 p.m. Monday night.
