Now For The Snowstorm Hangover

Forbes

February saw two of the 25 most significant snowstorms to hit the Northeast United States in the past 50 years, and it wouldn't be a surprise if some lingering snowflakes show up in a pair of key economic gauges due over the next few days.
The storms could also be a major swing point for February's retail sales, and Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi recently provided a list of companies that had outsize exposure to inclement weather on the East Coast.

"Just think, mall parking lots needed to be plowed, stores opened late--if at all," Sozzi wrote in a Tuesday note.
Sozzi warned that certain retail chains have a considerable presence in regions where weather is an issue, but one of those, BJ's Wholesale Club, which has 72% of its store base on the East Coast, managed to overcome the challenge of rough weather to post a 7.5% gain in February sales from a year ago.
