      The first nor’easter of the season took aim at the Northeastern United   
      States in mid-March 2023, ramping up on the evening of March 13 with   
      shrieking winds and heavy snows which continued through March 15. High   
      elevations in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire have   
      reported 36 inches (76.2 cm) or more of fresh snowfall, with a few   
      spots in New York measuring in at 40 inches (101.6 cm). Meanwhile major   
      cities, located at lower elevations or along the coast, saw much   
      lighter snowfall.   
      
      Wild winds, with even wilder gusts, were responsible for widespread   
      power outages and disrupted Wi-Fi across the region. Gusts topping 60   
      miles per hour (96.5 km/h) were reported in New Jersey, and winds   
      roared more than 45 mph (72.4 km/h) as far south as Maryland and   
      northern Virginia.   
      
      Wet snow piling up on power lines and snapping tree branches combined   
      with strong winds resulted in about 350,000 customers without power at   
      the height of the storm. More than 1,000 flights were cancelled on   
      March 14, especially in Massachusetts and New York, with delays lasting   
      through March 15 in some locations.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the storm on   
      March 15. At that time, clouds stretched from the Canadian Maritimes   
      westward to West Virginia and Ohio and north into southern Ontario and   
      Quebec, Canada.
