Philadelphia is still digging out from its second top-ten snowstorm of recorded history to hit the city this winter, and the streets are going to begin looking like canyons if this week\'s snowstorm adds a significant amount of snow to the incredible 28.5\" that fell during \"Snowmageddo...

The storm, which President Obama referred to as \"Snowmageddon\" in a speech before the Democratic National Committee winter meeting, set the all-time record for heaviest snowfall in Delaware history, thanks to the 26.5\" that fell in Wilmington (old state record: 25\" in the President\'s Day storm of 2003). \"Snowm...

Two of the hurricanes were major (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale).

" + "Goodbye Ida" + "

" + "Tropical Storm Ida made landfall early this morning with the center moving inland over the Alabama coast. The system has now lost all tropical characteristics and is what is called an “extratropical” cyclone. That just means that the cyclone looks more like a winter-time low than it does a tropical cyclone. The center is over [...]" + "

" + "Tropical versus Extratropical" + "

" + "For several days, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has been talking about Ida becoming “extratropical.” The definition of extratropical used by NHC is as follows: “Extratropical: A term used in advisories and tropical summaries that indicate that a cyclone has lost its “tropical” characteristics. The term implies both poleward displacement of the cyclone and the conversion [...]" + "

November has had some memorable events, including last year’s Hurricane Paloma, a Category 4 hurricane that struck Cuba. But normally, November doesn’t produce much activity.
