Road conditions were better on main thoroughfares, worse on side streets.
As of 8 a.m. Thursday, snow still appeared to be falling lightly, and wind gusts remained strong.
School districts closed or were already on remote learning schedules.
The Long Island Rail Road was running 10 to 15 behind schedule systemwide. NICE Bus also reported delays.
PSEG-LI reported that about 3,300 Long Islanders lost power overnight, with 150 outages on Thursday morning.
