And what we are getting on the East Coast over the next couple of days is NORMAL weather for late October.
I've lived in the Northeast much of my life and you can count on a number of "northeasters" in any given year from about October to March. I would say 6-8 big coastal storms in a season is about the average for the Northeast. I might actually be on the low side.
I think the Weather Channel just makes up these names to increase their ratings. Stick with us for Breaking News.
Stick with News 7 for the latest storm updates.
Five Nor’easters are the most I remember here on L.I. That was three four years ago. But different areas get affected differently. But the meteorologist types have been creating new more hyperbolic weather vocabulary. Super Storm Sandy being a great example. It came ashore and wasn’t a hurricane. It was no longer tropical. So they concocted this idiotic name that came ashore in positively the worst places.
