If it stalls off Long Island another repeat of " Sandy " storm surge ?

I doubt we will see something like Sandy for a while, especially looking at the circumstances that went into creating that storm. Looking at the current tracks, after the northeast, the storm is heading out to sea.

Wasn't Sandy a "perfect storm" in that a low from the west merged/collided with Sandy?

Yup. It will just hang around east of LI until late Monday early Tuesday then head off out to the sea, is the current prognostication. The odd pattern that brought Sandy on shore is unlikely to recur, and this storm is much weaker than Sandy to start with. Remember Sandy was well above a Cat 1 most of its life out on the sea. This one was barely Cat 1 for less than a day.

Yep, Sandy basically did what the 1991 storm didn't do, make landfall in the cities in the northeast. The 1991 storm dissipated after crossing Prince Edward Island.

Why are 52, 53, 91 and 92 canceled, but 97 and 98 are running?

Could be that's all the host railroad was willing to handle today as they recover. 98 also started off with a planned 4 hour setback.
