Storm Next Week Versus Deadly Storm of '62

No two storms are ever exactly alike, and the case with the storm on the East Coast in March 6-7, 2013, may be no different. However, there may be great similarities to other storms over the past and particularly one that occurred in 1962 on the same date.
The Ash Wednesday Storm, as it was called, caused everything from feet of snow to high winds and extensive coastal flooding.
The storm which formed on the 5th, stalled along the mid-Atlantic coast and blasted areas with heavy precipitation, gales and storm surge for days. Over 40 people were killed, over 1,000 others were injured and damage reached $200 million 1962 dollars.
Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams and the majority of AccuWeather.com meteorologists concur that the storm of 1962 and the storm next week bare great similarities on the historical weather maps and what is projected to occur.
