Monday's parting shots

Photos by Stacie Joy 

Spotted during today’s vehicle-free (until noon!) snow day: AJ and his owner, Tiffeani, opting for a little dog-powered transit...

Reader-submitted snow photos from the great blizzard of February 2026

Snow day 1 (aka first blizzard in 9 years)

Thank you to Kyle de Vre for this set of snow day photos today...

Meanwhile, in the adult section of Tompkins Square Park

After every major snowfall (especially when the snow is perfect for packing) ... as inevitable as seeing someone carrying golf clubs or wearing shorts...
This morning, Parks workers toppled the above sculpture, leaving only the base behind... stating, "Kids don't need to see any dick."

The morning after (and day of) the blizzard of Feb. 22-23

A few photos from this morning as the snow continues to fall (more than a foot reported in NYC so far) ... we found Parks staff out in Tompkins... and owner Ali Sahin working at C&B Cafe on Seventh Street near Avenue B — one of the handful of local businesses open today...
Elsewhere, there's snow, snow and a random car or two ... not to mention mini snow plows on the streets...

Monday's opening shot

We were shocked to wake up today and see that it had snowed last night. Wow! 

In any event, here's the 9 a.m. view on First Avenue at Seventh Street (looking north) ... with a bonus shot looking east on Seventh...
The travel ban (cars, trucks, ebikes) is in place until noon today... with the snow finally tapering off this afternoon.

And ICYMI: A travel ban (for cars, trucks, bikes, etc.) is in effect until noon tomorrow.

The snow before the blizzard

A few photos from late this afternoon as the snow began to intensify, with blizzard-like conditions expected tonight into tomorrow...
... and at Exit9 on Avenue A, no snow-covered dogs allowed in...

No way out (or in)? Citywide blizzard-related travel ban begins at 9 tonight

Mayor Mamdani has declared a state of emergency, which includes a citywide travel ban, from 9 p.m. tonight through noon Monday. 

Streets, highways and bridges will be shut down to all traffic, including cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes. Most subway service will operate locally.
