A Nor'easter is a type of storm that typically occurs along the East Coast of the United States. It is characterized by strong winds coming from the northeast, heavy precipitation, and often significant snowfall. These storms usually form when cold air from the north meets warm, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean, creating a powerful weather system. Nor'easters can bring severe weather conditions, including blizzards, coastal flooding, and high waves. They are most common in the late fall and winter months, impacting states such as New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The intensity and duration of these storms can vary, but they often disrupt travel and daily life.
