= Nor'easters
{wiki=Nor'easters}
A Nor'easter is a type of storm that primarily affects the northeastern United States, characterized by strong winds coming from the northeast. These storms typically occur in the fall, winter, and early spring and can bring heavy snow, rain, and coastal flooding. Nor'easters develop when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cold air from Canada. As the warm air rises over the cold air, it can create low-pressure systems that can intensify rapidly.
