So far, however, there is no sign of climate-driven hurricane activity. In an interview Monday, Prof. Pielke said there are no signs of a trend in hurricane activity. “We’ve done long-term trends with respect to hurricane damage in the United States, and it’s very safe to say that regardless of how [Sandy] plays out, there’s a century-long time series with no trend in it — and that’s in damage, the number of landfalls, or the intensity of storms at landfall. So, if you are looking for signals of long-term climate change, focusing in on any one storm is the wrong way to go about it to begin with.”Hurricane Sandy has drowned the New York I love | Bill McKibben | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

For Maryland, this storm had the feel of a very strong nor'easter rather than a hurricane. The reporters standing in the wind consistently complained of the cold. the veteran reporters noted that every other hurricane they covered had temps in the high 70's and this time it was the low 50's.
