A powerful nor’easter is rapidly intensifying off the Mid-Atlantic coast and is expected to slam New York City and much of the Northeast.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The blizzard of 2026 impacted millions across New York City and the Tri-State area on February 22-23, 2026. The major storm that blanketed the region with snow, canceled flights, disrupted transit and downed power lines. More than 30 inches of snow fell on parts of Long Island and New Jersey.

A blizzard warning remains in effect through late Monday, Feb. 23, for New York City and much of the region as the system drops several feet of snow.

A fierce winter storm brings harsh snowfall, wind and whiteout conditions across the northeast. Millions are experiencing travel bans and power outages amid the bomb cyclone.

New York City is under its first blizzard warning in nearly 10 years, as heavy snow and strong winds will combine for whiteout conditions Sunday into Monday. The snow is set to begin Sunday morning, with initial melting likely as temperatures ahead of the storm Saturday have been in the 40s.

The city got at least 20 inches of snow — and got off easy compared to other parts of the Northeast. Here’s how Monday played out.

The worst of the storm had passed by Tuesday, but more than 200,000 customers in Massachusetts were still without electricity. At least one person died in the blizzard.
