his weather.">>>>>jaciel cordoba: Western New Jersey was expecting a major hit -- of more than a foot of snow.>>EVE tannery: river most places escaped with just a few inches. WFMZ's John Craven is at the New Jersey Transit station in High Bridge.. Hunterdon County. John.. rail service is now resuming there. >> In fact the first train of the day will head out of here in 18 minutes from now -- headed to New York. The Raritan Valley Line here is only operating on a weekend schedule today. That means the next train doesn't leave till 3:00. Other than that though-- for an area that was expecting to measure snow in feet today.. it's turned out to be just a typical Tuesday. >> reporter The snow came down steadily overnight in Western New Jersey.. But as night turned into morning.. It became obvious the region had dodged a bullet -- escaping with just a few inches.>> richard iannone, washington nj "Any snow is too much snow.">> reporter And that's just fine with Richard Iannone clearing sidewalks in Washington New Jersey.>> Reporter: "Not a lot to shovel.">> richard iannone, washington nj "No, but there's enough. You've got to shovel it so nobody falls and gets hurt.">> reporter New Jersey lifted its statewide driving ban by 7:30. By morning most roads were simply wet and businesses like Phillipsburg's Key City Diner opened up shop. Most people seemed thrilled the predicted blizzard was a no-show. Even if it meant going to work.>> billy havlik, phillipsburg nj "Well, i work at Phillipsburg-Eaton Hyundai, so i got to clean off 320 cars. So I'm glad we didn't get as much as we should have!">> matt huppert, easton "We're thankful. After last year, it was really a hard winter and I'm just glad it's all over before it never even happened.">> Well we still have a lot more winter yet. And even though we didn't get a lot of snow.. this is a real concern. All this snow on peoples roofs -- it's getting windy out here and this light.. dry snow is really blowing around. So you have to watch out for that. Also-- one more travel note. If you're trying to get into New York City today-- again.. the New Jersey Transit trains are running on a weekend schedule here today. If you're taking the bus-- both commuter lines are just resuming service now as well. So things are quickly getting back to normal here. Live in Hunterdon County.. John Craven
