The F Takes It Slow & More Sheepshead Bay Subway Changes

While there’s just one scheduled change as of now for the subway over the next couple of days (see below), that’s changing pretty quickly as Winter Storm Juno bears down on our area, potentially dumping as much as three feet of snow on our city – and state and city officials are urging residents to stay put.

With a coating of snow already on the ground, the storm is expected to intensify and result in as much as four inches of snow an hour – as well as close to zero visibility – ahead of rush hour, which Governor Andrew Cuomo said will result in subways, buses, and other public transportation being shut down.

Cuomo announced that there will be limited subway service after 7pm, and there could be a complete closedown of roads, MetroNorth and the LIRR as of 11pm. An announcement about such a shutdown will be made after 4pm today.

Depending on what happens with the storm, Cuomo said the limited service and closures would remain in effect tomorrow.

The limited service means express trains will likely run local, as express tracks will be used to store equipment.
