Weekend Travel: What the Northeast Snowstorm Means for Your Plans

A big snowstorm hit the U.S. Northeast on Sunday, February 22, 2026. The National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings for New York City and other coastal areas.

Many airlines canceled flights and offered fee waivers so customers can change plans. If you plan to travel, check your airline app, expect delays, and avoid driving during the heaviest snow. Amtrak and local transit adjusted some services, and officials urged people to stay home when the storm was strongest. Bring water, warm clothes, medicines, and a phone charger in case you are delayed. Call your hotel or the person you are visiting to tell them if you will be late.
