Forecasters: New, lesser storm may hit East Coast
Source: AP (Yahoo News)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Another messy — and wintry — storm may cause post-Election Day problems for an already weather-weary East Coast, forecasters say.
But meteorologists add that it's six days out, so that's rather early to get too worried. The forecast could change before it hits late next week.
The National Weather Service's forecast center in College Park, Md., which watches winter storms, put out a long-range notice Thursday saying a nor'easter was possible for mid-Atlantic and New England states by Election Day through next Thursday.

Unlike Sandy, this doesn't have a tropical component. This would be a normal wet storm coming through land in the Southeast U.S. and going into the water, combining with cold air coming south from the Great Lakes and then curving back into the mid-Atlantic.

after Sandy - my fellow New Yorkers seem to have an attitude of "Meh, just a plain ol' Nor'easter"
btw - the last Nor'easter we had dumped 2 feet of snow on us right before Halloween last year....
