The Short Answer
First its the largest hurricane in history on the Atlantic, spread over a 1000 miles 's. Next, it's going to strengthen rather than weaken as it changes to a cold storm and become a nor'easter, which typically creates blizzards over the us. It's also occurring during a full moon which makes the flood and wave effects more pronounced. Lastly the path of the storm, coupled with an off shore high pressure area will make it a slow moving cold cat-2 storm, unlike the typical hurricane which comes quickly and dissipates, this hurricane is going to take almost a week with sustained winds, rains , and waves to pass through.
