GWC Storm Footage–November 7, 2012–Nor’easter Cranks Up

Here is video footage of the first snowfall of the 2012-13 winter season. The storm began to pick up in intensity during the mid-afternoon, and it continued into the evening. The powerful nor’easter came up the Mid-Atlantic coast and brought significant snow, wind, and coastal flooding to a region still reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The storm stayed a bit further offshore than forecast, which brought snowfall totals down to interior sections of New Jersey while bringing them up near the coast. In South Plainfield, there was only 1.5 inches of snow with winds up to 39 miles per hour, and a barometric pressure that fell to only 29.74 inches, or 1007 millibars. Over in Monmouth County, North Howell received 10 inches of the white stuff. Other areas in Monmouth and Ocean County received about a foot.
