- It's the first sentence of the second paragraph in Impact. I actually wanted to add an alternate hook for the article, but my attempt at doing so led to the issues this nom page had. The alt hook, if needed, was:
- ... that a tropical storm in 1887 produced hail and snow in North Carolina during October? Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 09:29, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
I am happy with the original hook, the fact is indeed in the article and the source checked. The article was actually moved into mainspace on 13th January so should have been nominated for that date, but no matter! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
