We had strong wind in Virginia Beach, recorded gust to 50 mph. Few of the offshore buoys recorded 70 knots. Hard to say how much snow, some spots my house 12 inch drifts others 2 inches . Good thing it went through fast, we get tidal flooding from long periods high winds storm passed during low tide. Did not see any real damage.

I expect it could have been worse in New England, storm seemed to move further offshore. Weather Bouy on George’s Bank recorded very high wind and sea. 45 feet on the 5th.

I will say over 50 years experience on the waterfront including a weather forecasting correspondence course while in the CG I never heard of a “ Bomb Cyclone” Do they make these names up for TV ratings ?
