A storm system moved up the United States east coast from Tuesday November 25 through Thursday November 27, 2014. The storm system, also known as a Nor'easter, produced varying snowfall amounts with a highest amounts across parts of central and eastern New York and northeast Pennsylvania.
Nor'easter: A strong low pressure system that affects the Mid Atlantic and New England States. It can form over land or over the coastal waters. These winter weather events are notorious for producing heavy snow, rain, and tremendous waves that crash onto Atlantic beaches, often causing beach erosion and structural damage. Wind gusts associated with these storms can exceed hurricane force in intensity. A nor'easter gets its name from the continuously strong northeasterly winds blowing in from the ocean ahead of the storm and over the coastal areas.
