Blizzard sweeps through Little Haiti as nor’easter slams Northeast
Snow fell steadily over Little Haiti in Brooklyn and across Manhattan on Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, as a powerful blizzard moved through New York City. Along Nostrand Avenue, residents hurried past storefronts dusted in white, workers cleared sidewalks and commuters emerged from the Newkirk Avenue–Little Haiti subway station into whipping winds and reduced visibility.
From pigeons pecking beside Yi Jung Market to pedestrians navigating icy intersections, these images capture how members of the Haitian Diaspora and their neighbors pressed on through a disruptive winter storm — reshaping familiar streets into stark, snow-covered landscapes.
