INEPTA does the same thing every year. Rail service (in other cities) has always been the one reliable mode of transportation in bad weather. Instead of paying too many managers with too few brains, maybe Septa should consider hiring experienced train operators and yard crews. How I miss the old streetcars in Baltimore!

Every once in a while, it snows in this area between December 21 and March 21. Sometimes after March 21. The authorities in charge of transportation obviously have their memories wiped clean from year to year, otherwise they’d think in advance about plowing, salting, shoveling and lubricating anything (signals, switches wires) that need treatment. This storm is chicken feed compared to what we saw a year ago and earlier this year. Why did it stun the transportation bosses so badly, when every possible news sources was blaring incessantly about it?

Amtrak service between New York and DC has been affected. Amtrak has called people on at least some of their trains to let them know their trains are canceled. Not sure why they would say that part is unaffected.
