Al Roker's Snowy Walk to Work During Blizzard

TODAY weather and feature anchor Al Roker found himself in the middle of a bona fide blizzard on his way to work in New York City on Monday morning. In an Instagram video filmed early‑morning on February 23, he chronicled his very snowy walk to Studio 1A in Midtown Manhattan — equal parts informative and endearing.

The caption read, "My morning walk during #blizzard2026," and in the video Roker said, "So far this blizzard is living up to its reputation," as he trudged through the mounds of snow on 5th Ave and added, "I hope you are staying safe indoors." He gave a shoutout to city children: "New York City kids have their first real snow day — no online learning, nothing like that.

They're just home and waiting for this snow to stop so they can go sledding — yes! As it should be!" In an earlier Instagram video posted Sunday night, Roker revealed he spent the night close by to Studio 1A in Rockefeller Plaza because the snowfall forecast was so intense that he had an old-fashioned "sleepover" with his TODAY colleagues.
