This day in Noreaster History 4/12

**Sorry that this is a day early, I have to work**

April 12, is just as important as any other day during Nor'easter Season. Coastal storms, while they are frequent, are becoming more of a frontal passage type event.

1993-Weak cold front passes the island. The frontal band itself contained rain and fog. Rainfall was light.
1999- More of a sou'wester than noreaster. The tail end occured later that morning. It began as Light rain. Wind was not a problem with this storm.
2004- Weak coastal storm dumps rainfall on Nantucket.
2005-Snow fell in the pre-dawn hours.
2007-Sou'easter dumps rain on Nantucket. Winds were 41 MPH at their highest.
