Much as I enjoyed the movie "Finding Nemo," there was no trouble finding the winter storm Nemo. If you lived east of the Mississippi or thereabouts, Nemo was pretty much everywhere!

While not the worst storm I've been through here in Maine (a week later we got an immeasurable amount of snow but with truly terrifying winds for 2 days nonstop), it rated better than a cute little lost goldfish.
