| What are the chances that the trains will be running to NY Monday morning? |

| I read a blog somewhere saying Amtrak does well in the snow and even ice. Praying it's true! |

| Likely yes. We had a TON of snow in NYC the last 2 yrs and I was coming down to DC a lot and Amtrak never failed me. It does really well with snow/ice. What you may find is that they may cancel your train and rebook you on one that is an hr earlier or an hr later. I tend to recall that rebooking happens automatically, but if it doesn't and you get a cancelation notice, don't freak out - just call their number ASAP to get on another train. I think they do it to space out the trains, but when I got on my rebooked train I also realized that NO ONE travels during these events unless they absolutely have to. So my rebooked train wasn't even half full -- leading me to believe that it's more economically efficient (and logistically efficient) for Amtrak to combine 2 trains worth of passengers into 1 and it doesn't really screw anyone over - except being an hr earlier or later. |

| I think Amtrak will be fine but give yourself HOURS to get to Union Station. Who knows how our roads will be and I'm not so confident that Metro will be up and running first thing Monday. |
