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 state of emergency and a travel ban were declared ahead of the powerful nor'easter storm.

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.

Nearly 20 inches of snow fell on New York City's Central Park, creating a perfect playground for skiers.

While much of the northeast of the United States watches mounds of snow accumulate outside their windows, something else is piling up pretty quickly as well.
