NEW YORK (AP) — The first snowstorm of the season to hit the New York City area brought several inches of snow and slowed the evening commute to a crawl.

Commuters were advised to stay indoors and avoid roads and the Port Authority Bus Terminal due to overcrowding. A mayoral spokesman says the early storm meant that Metropolitan Transportation Authority didn't have snow chains on its buses.
