A fierce winter storm brought deep snow and high gusting winds to the Northeast last weekend, but a number of insurers are saying that so far, they are not seeing a large number of claims.

State Farm said Tuesday the company has yet not seen a large number of claims to-date from the weekend storm. “Our claims department is reporting less than 100 and they are being handled through our regular claims processing procedures,” State Farm spokesperson Arlene Lester told Insurance Journal.

Meanwhile, Arbella Insurance Group, a Quincy, Mass.-based carrier providing personal and business insurance in the New England region, said the company does not expect last weekend’s snowstorm to reach the same level of impact as the other extreme weather events that occurred in New England in 2011 and 2012.
