Heavy delays from the snow caused overcrowding inside the building, prompting officials to block more people from entering at 5:15 p.m. The doors were still blocked as of 7 p.m.

A Port Authority spokesperson recommended people take trains back to New Jersey to combat the bus delays.

The congestion inside of the bus terminal was because only some buses were able to get into the station, the spokesperson said.

"Guards are blocking upper levels, people are yelling," Rachel Gallagher tweeted. "#firstsnow #portauthority"
