Few comments[edit]

First, I think the "18,000 ft (5,500 m)" might be considered to be converted to mi and km. I think that would give a better perspective how high it is. Also, I noticed you use "55 m/s (120 mph)" - is there a reason m/s is used, and not km/h? I'm not sure about nor'easter articles, but in tropical cyclone articles, we never use m/s, particularly in US articles (where imperial system is preferred).

I think it's a little awkward starting the "Impact and Aftermath" with "Kocin and Uccellini (2004)", since they are authors. What about something more generic, like "The nor'easter was really bad", or something more broader and more appropriate. Also, you should clarify that "Capital District" refers to the Capital of New York, not of the US. I've never heard of the term before used for NY, at least.

Inflated dollar amounts would be nice, too. The dates for the newspapers would be good, since there is no indication when the articles are from otherwise. Finally, it'd be nice if there was a more up to date reference for - "In the state of Vermont, the storm led to the greatest single snowfall total ever recorded in the state". Since the source was from 1969, you should probably clarify that it was, at the time, the greatest single snowfall total.
