The New York City Subway continues to operate partially, and activity is expected to gradually improve throughout the day.

Airports are expected to gradually reopen tomorrow, February 25, 2026, but eyes are already on next week. After a few clear days, temperatures are expected to drop again next week, and another snowstorm is expected. However, at this point, it is not entirely clear whether this will be another powerful storm that will paralyze New York or just light snow.
