Nor’easter weakens after deadly battering of Northeast


The worst of the deadly nor’easter that’s lashed the Northeast is behind us, and Monday will feature minor impacts as the storm winds down. 

The storm claimed at least one life. The New York Police Department confirmed to ABC News that a 56-year old man died after being struck by a falling tree on Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn while walking through a parking lot.
