This is the Northeast?

We had a pretty hefty storm roll through here Sunday and Monday -- it rained for about 28 hours straight. The boss referred to the storm as a Nor'easter, which I'd always associated with, y'know, the Northeast.

But Wikipedia bears him out; a Nor'easter is just a large low-pressure system, powered by cold air instead of warm, that sits off the coast of the Northeast. With the winds blowing the now-cold and moisture-rich air straight down the east coast, NoVA can get hit almost as hard as Boston. Surprised the heck out of me.

The system finally seems to have broken down and as of 9:30 PM on Monday the rain is pretty much over with. And it's even going to get over 60 -- high is forecast in the mid-70s -- tomorrow. Almost like what someone would expect for mid-May.
