(Mel Evans/AP Photo) A nor'easter's wind, rain and snow has knocked out power to many Northeast residents who'd only recently gotten it back after superstorm Sandy battered the region last week. For many frustrated residents in New York and New Jersey, who had just dried off after being inundated with the superstorm flood waters, the Wednesday nor'easter was the last thing they needed. "I am waiting for the locusts and pestilence next," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday. The storm brought wet snow, sleet, rain and wind gusts that reached up to 54 mph on Long Island, N.Y., Wednesday afternoon through the evening.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
