    Midtown Manhattan is a blanket of white but roads and sidewalks are passable.

    A few people and cars were out early Tuesday.

    Many businesses such as 24-hour delis are open.

    Mido Salha worked his usual overnight shift at the City Gourmet Market on Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. He put a “we are open” sign in the window.

    He says “It’s just a regular snow day.”

    Brandon Bhajan, a security guard at a 33rd Street building, says he thinks it’s a good thing the city prepared New Yorkers for the worst even if it didn’t turn out as bad.

    He says the “over-coverage” of the storm allowed people to be ready and prepared.

    It feels like Marshall Law in Manhattan. We got only inches of snow and yet there were no cars (by law) on the streets.

    A terrible decision by our terrible elected officials to close the roads … AND the subways (which had never been done before because of snowfall).

    It went into effect hours before the snow came. And even after it became apparent that the snowfall would not be as bad as originally feared, the restrictions were not lifted.

    It’s 7:15 AM and the restrictions are still in effect. Walking around, with clear streets and minimal snow falling and no cars on the road. It feels like a Police State.
