NOAA's GOES East satellite captured this dramatic image of last week's powerful nor'easter that brought gale-force winds, rain and snow to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on March 2, 2018. The strong late-winter storm caused significant coastal flooding in New England and lashed many areas with dangerously high winds. NOAA's Weather Prediction Center reported widespread hurricane-force winds (of at least 74 mph) in six states. Peak wind gusts exceeded 70 mph in the Washington, D.C. area and reached as high as 93 mph in eastern Massachusetts. Meanwhile, parts of upstate New York received more than two feet of snow.
