It’s still a hurricane although the terms “snow-i-cane” and my personal favorite “snurricane” have been used when referring to the rare event. The hurricane made landfall near Atlantic City battering the coast with roughly 110 mph winds and heavy rain. Meanwhile to the north snow blanketed the ground in New York all the way to Maine. (NOAA)Almost 50 years later, Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey in late October of 2012 as a post-tropical cyclone. It didn’t hinder the power Sandy had.
