After Saturday's snowstorm, anything else should be a cakewalk. 

Let's start with the good news: Accuweather predicts that today will be sunny, with a high of 35 degrees — and a "real feel" temperature of 40 degrees. That's nice. 

Then there's the condition of the subways — otherwise known as the bad news.

Several lines are running with delays:

At the time of publication, the 2 train's southbound line was running with delays due to signal problems at 219th St. There's no southbound 5 train service from E. 180 St. to 3rd Ave. - 149 St. There's no southbound 6 train service from Parkchester to 3rd Ave. - 138 St. F trains are running local between 36th St. in Queens and Forest Hills - 71 Ave. in both directions. Due to mechanical problems, there will be no Z service from Parsons Blvd-Archer Ave. to Broad St. 

For up-to-the-minute updates on how unbearable your commute will be, check the MTA's website. 

With all the snow and ice on the streets, the only way today would be worse would be if it was still snowing. This is nearly as bad as it gets. 

Today's misery index is 9.
