And a record one for so early in the season. Much of the Northeast is buried in snow and millions are without power. It occurred over the weekend. People had not even had time to rake their leaves!

There are some hints in the weather pattern that this could happen again, but, of course, that is not sealed in stone and noone knows for sure. Here is a list of some of the snow totals:
