Big Vermont Winter Storm Also Caused Havoc Elsewhere.

 I've focused on the snow and wind and power outages that just hit Vermont, as that's where I live and all, but you can't ignore the vast area the storm also hit. 

From the South to Canada, all kinds of problems grew out of the storm including flooding,  tornadoes, coastal storm surges and snow squalls. 

As the storm gathered steam in the South late Friday and Saturday. The worst of the tornadoes severely damaged several homes in southern Georgia. 

In the Charleston, South Carolina area, three to as much as 4.5 inches of rain in a short period of time set off a lot of flooding. Parts of downtown Charleston were under water, and several people had to be rescued from cars caught in the high water. 

In the Northeast, the storm was badly timed, as it coincided with the highest astronomical tides of the month. 

Drone footage showed Hampton Beach, New Hampshire almost completely inundated Sunday by a storm surge. That's the second time this year this has happened there. 

Numerous roads were closed Sunday in southern and eastern Maine either from storm surges along the coast or river flooding just inland. 

Strong winds toppled trees and cut power lines in parts of the Mid-Atlantic States. The Washington Monument closed Sunday because of Washington DC wind gusts to 52 mph. 

The storm is extending way up into the Canadian Maritimes. Parts of Newfoundland, including the city of St. John's, is expected two to three feet of snow with this slow moving system. 

The weather has improved pretty much everywhere, and the snow will taper off soon in Vermont's mountains. But the bad weather in the Maritimes should continue on for another day or two.
