  1. 1. Maine??
    2.Nor’Easter (although I think of that as coming from Canada) Maybe Lake Effect Blizzard
    3. William and Mary (couldn’t think of the exact name until I saw the above answer…but that was the school I was thinking of
    4. Virginia
    5. Insurance…or possibly steel
    6. Certainly, Yes.

    This was done without the help of a book or Google…just my pea sized brain.

  2. Well, I didn’t get a chance before the answers were up, but I did know the last one. And actually I did know the insurance answer and the largest state wasn’t too hard.
