GREENWICH VILLAGE — Melting snow caused a slew of subway changes and rush-hour delays Monday morning, officials said.

A water condition brought on by melting snow and ice spilling onto the tracks near the West 4th Street subway station forced the MTA to cut off power, affecting several lines, MTA officials said.

Brooklyn-bound B and D trains were running on the A line from Columbus Circle to West 4th Street, while southbound F trains were running on the E line from Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue to West 4th Street, the MTA said.

Other Brooklyn-bound F trains were running on the G line from Court Square to Bergen Street, officials said.

M trains were not running between Forest Hills-71st Avenue and Essex Street in either direction, and R trains were running with delays in both directions, according to the MTA.

Straphangers were advised to expect delays in A, B, C, D, E, F and M service and allot additional time for travel.
