Flights from Newark Liberty International Airport were not expected to fully resume until the noon due to runways that had to be shut down overnight as a result of heavy snow.Logan airport in Boston was expected to reopen Saturday night.

Amtrak canceled service on its New York-Boston Service line today as crews clear tracks of snow and downed trees. However, Amtrak was running service between New York and Washington, D.C.

At New York's Penn station, stranded travelers banded together as they waited for train service to be reinstated.
