The early April storm was no joke across much of the eastern United States as every state east of I-35 had some type of weather report generated this week.
The biggest system was a Nor’easter which barrelled up the coast slamming Boston with high winds and rain - generating intense waves along the shoreline.
Further north in Maine, snow blowers returned for the spring show of winter.
Downed power lines in New Hampshire were widespread. More than 700,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Northeast.
Between 5 to 6 inches of heavy, wet snow fell in Madison, Wisconsin and continued into Upper Michigan.
Presumed tornadoes tore through much of the South - just outside of Atlanta in Conyers, Georgia heavy roof damage was visible from the air along with large debris fields. Other parts of Oklahoma, West Virginia and Ohio also had damage.
The weekly precip map was a dark green color from eastern Iowa to the Atlantic delaying spring field work and hampering grain movement efforts.
