Ghost of Leroy is right.  You can't really get snow from a tropical system unless it is transitioning away from that.  

That’s kind of the whole point though. Most storms heading above 40 north are transitioning (there are exceptions think Bob). It was still an entity originating in the tropics that caused the snow above 2k in the Catskills. The storm occurred in the 1800s during a slightly different climate so we will never know the true Synoptics.

two confirmed dead in wilmington after being trapped under a collapsed home, with tree damage. but def minimal stuff going on there :whistle: 

No offense, people die from an inch of snow or a wet roadway after 5 minutes of rain. Just humanity and luck (or lack of it)

 

The hurricane shouldnt be minimized...but this is what happens when you have cable news, social media and the EVIL weather channel hyping things up for ratings day after day.

”Why Florence is a storm like no other” from cnn.com the other day.

Every hurricane that hits the US now is the biggest, baddest, most scary storm ever...and it never rained this much or moved this slow and and and...

Or it is a Category 1 storm hitting the Outer Banks. And it will suck. And there will be some damage. And some people will need to be rescued. And some people didnt leave. And some people will die. And there will be flooding. And , yes, there will be storm surge!

And it isnt unusal...for a hurricane...in North Carolina...at all.

I dont recall the last time two people died from a tree crushing their entire home......and not sure I'd simply call it "bad luck"

why isn't this more appalling to anyone? This guy is a fraud and has no real journalistic integrity. He has been the main shot on TWC for a number of hour and hes been rocking/acting the whole time. What a joke

It is appalling and it's another discussion entirely but that's why people can't agree on "facts" anymore.
