Re: Winter 2015 - boom or snow job?
The Twin Cities does this with light rail. IIRC, they actually run more frequently during heavy snow.
So they can get a couple of those fancy diesel snow removers like what Chicago has and run them 24/7 along with all of the other snow equipment they have for the regular trains. Most of NYC's system is underground anyways and it wouldn't be that big of a deal to have a train roll along a line about every hour or so just to plow snow off of the tracks when you're getting hammered with heavy up to 3 inches of snow in a hour snowfall.
