A major nor’easter, unofficially dubbed Winter Storm Hernando, is wreaking havoc across the Northeastern United States from February 22 through 23. While the storm’s main effects are expected far from our sandy shores, it wouldn’t hurt to stay informed of any changes that could trickle down our way.
