While not as strong as Sandy, this storm, called a "nor'easter," brought heavy ice-cold rain and strong winds up to 97 kilometers an hour to the coast and thick wet snow farther inland. As much as 17 centimeters of snow had been expected across New York City and New Jersey, and further north into Connecticut.
