Little traffic on NYC streets
The New York City travel ban, along with the closing of schools, has apparently had an impact, according to the NYPD. Police had to only respond to 15 requests for towing, compared with 52 during the last storm. Most of the tows have been for private ambulances, an NYPD spokesman said.
There have been no major reports of coastal flooding.
In terms of power outages, the biggest was reported in the Far Rockaway, area which had 11,705 customers with lost power earlier on Monday, a number that is expected to decrease as the day goes on and crews make repairs. The department didn't have absentee figures but noted that officers are out on the street
