A nor'easter winter storm could hit the Mid-Atlantic and New England next week, the National Weather Service warned, but said the impact would be nowhere near as devastating as Superstorm Sandy.

The storm may affect the regions anywhere between "Election Day (Tuesday) into next Thursday," the service's prediction center stated.

Increasing winds along coastal New England Tuesday onward "may lead to some coastal flooding and beach erosion," it added. Mid-Atlantic states could also see some damage if the system becomes more westerly.

"It should be noted that this system is expected to be much weaker than Hurricane Sandy and produce impacts much less extreme and mainly away from the region most strongly impacted by Sandy," the center stated.

I am scheduled to go back Sunday, if I can get back. ONLY reason I want to go back is to VOTE. Otherwise I would stay as long as possible. lol

8. LOL....hell no

No offense but I'd rather deal with monthly hurricanes, blizzards and nor'easters.

7. Even a modest storm could be devastating to places like Fire Island ...

... where Sandy destroyed massive sections of dunes, thus leaving those communities with no protection from the ocean.
