Last week, while meteorologists were keeping an eye on a tropical system in the Caribbean, a freak snow storm formed in the Northeast. Out of season, and carrying 20+ inches of snow, this snowstorm fulfilled meteorologist’s expectations of being of being a potentially disastrous event.
The way in which the storm was coming in to the Northeast resulted in rapid accumulation of snow on trees, for which the limbs could not handle. Power lines were taken out as branches snapped throughout the region, leaving homes powerless for days.
