Amtrak ridership increases during winter weather 2014?

[ejjski]

With all of the travel disruptions in the air and on the roads, has Amtrak ridership increased or will increase because of these series of winter storms? I know some Amtrak service is limited due to the storm but perhaps passengers from other modes of transportation have or will ride Amtrak because their flights are disrupted.

Ridership may be up on trains that run, but some trains are cancelled.  It may be a wash.

anyone else?

Disruptions in service because of winter weather seem to last longer on Amtrak now than in the past, and for more days than flight interruptions.
