The November 1950 storm caused widespread flooding and wind damage along the US East Coast while inland areas were coped with heavy snowfalls and very low temperatures. The storm developed over North Carolina then deepened rapidly into an “East Coast Bomb” as it tracked northward into Pennsylvania before turning northwest en-route to Lake Erie and later curving southwest and then east across Ohio.
