HFS in the News

With back-to-back-to-back Nor’easters hitting the Northeast in March (and possibly more on the way?), HFS Chief Meteorologist Rob Carolan has been quoted in several news stories for his expertise on each storm:

This is not a big deal for New York City, but maybe a decent storm for eastern Long Island and the Connecticut coast east of New Haven,” said Rob Carolan, meteorologist with Hometown Forecast Services Inc. in Nashua, New Hampshire.
