EIIC Offices Closed on Monday, February 23, 2026

A dangerous and potentially historic winter storm is set to slam the Tri-State area later today, bringing blizzard conditions, heavy snow, damaging winds, and coastal flooding. While this morning began with scattered light snow and rain, the storm will rapidly intensify through the afternoon and peak overnight.

The storm is poised to be the biggest snow-maker to slam the Tri-State area since the storm of January 2016, which was the biggest snowstorm to ever hit NYC on record.

Please note that both our offices will be closed on Monday, February 23, 2026.

Please take the time to be sure you are prepared and during the storm make sure to take the weather seriously and dress appropriately, and check mta.info to make sure any public transit is running. Again, check on your neighbors, and if you see someone vulnerable who needs help outside, request assistance through 311.
