According to CBS News:
An unusual nasty mix of a hurricane [Sandy] and a winter storm that forecasters are now calling “Frankenstorm” is likely to blast most of the East Coast next week, focusing the worst of its weather mayhem around New York City and New Jersey.
Forecasters say it’s almost certain that the bad stuff, which will include “steady gale-force winds, heavy rain, flooding and maybe snow” will start late Sunday and could continue through Halloween, which is Wednesday.
