Has there ever been hurricanes that have moved far enough north to produce massive snowstorms?

Question

It seems there is so much rain with some hurricanes (like feet). I was curious if there have ever been massive snowstorms from hurricanes (since 1 foot of rain would be quite the snowstorm). I cant see it happening often if it ever has.

Answer 1

It's quite rare, but yes it does happen!  One of the more famous events occurred in October 1804.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_of_Oc...

You basically need a very late season hurricane striking New England at the same time a strong cold snap moves in from Canada.  

Additionally, hurricanes (and what is left of them) occasionally pass well to the north of Iceland, but since they remain over the warmer ocean they do not produce snow.
