Spring Nor`easter Snowstorm With Giant Wet Snowflakes Stock Photo

Nor-Easter storm in the FingerLakes region of NYS. A nor`easter is a term for a storm on the US East Coast in which powerful winds come from the northeast. While the storms often impact coastal areas, this week`s nor`easter tracked much farther to the west, meaning precipitation in coastal cities arrived as rain while inland locations received heavy, wet snow.
