Governor Cuomo: New York City area travel ban is lifted, except for Suffolk County

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the New York City area travel ban is lifted, except for Suffolk County.

Cuomo says the ban was lifted at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday for the city, Nassau County, and Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Westchester counties.

Drivers should still use extreme caution.

Cuomo said that while roads are passable, there’s ice under the snow.

He says it’s an “ugly, dangerous drive” from eastern Long Island.
