As New York City braces for blizzard conditions, many people got out of the city while they could.
Commuters from the Lehigh Valley who ride Bieber Tourways buses made it home Monday night before the brunt of the storm hit.
The bus company will be closed Tuesday.
69 News spoke with people as they got off the bus in Wescosville, Lower Macungie Township in Lehigh County.
"Slow but steady, thankfully. Once we got out of the city it moved along pretty well," said Fred Komarow of Allentown, descirbing the ride from New York City, where he works.
"The lines in the port authority were extremely long," said Denise Francois of Macungie, who was also in the city for work.
The bus company said it only saw about a third of its normal volume Monday.
"Everybody's going crazy. 'Oh the snow, you got to get food, we need to get water, this, that,'" said Derek Perez, a college student from Queens who is visiting for a week. "I'm trying to get away from all that stuff, relax a little bit."
Now that others are back home, they are staying put for a while.
"The company I work for said don't come in, work from home, it's safer that way," said Komarow. "I'm lucky I can telecommute. All I need's a WiFi connection and a cup of coffee and I'm good to go."
Francois said, "I'm staying home, staying home. Maybe Friday."
