Nor'easter
의미: A powerful winter storm that moves along the East Coast, bringing heavy snow, rain, and strong winds from the northeast.
A nor'easter is the Northeast's most feared weather event — a massive storm system where winds blow from the northeast, bringing heavy snow, coastal flooding, and bitter cold. Major nor'easters shut down cities, close schools, and dump feet of snow. The term carries equal parts dread and excitement — snow days for kids, nightmares for commuters.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- Don't use for any winter storm — a nor'easter is a specific type of storm with winds from the northeast; a regular snowstorm isn't necessarily a nor'easter不要用于任何冬季风暴——东北风暴是一种特定类型的风暴,风从东北方向吹来;普通暴雪不一定是东北风暴No lo uses para cualquier tormenta invernal — un nor'easter es un tipo específico de tormenta con vientos del noreste; una nevada normal no es necesariamente un nor'easter.普通の冬の嵐に使わないこと — ノーイースターは北東からの風を伴う特定の種類の嵐であり、通常の雪嵐が必ずしもノーイースターとは限らない아무 겨울 폭풍에나 사용하지 말 것 — 노이스터는 북동풍을 동반하는 특정 유형의 폭풍이며, 일반 폭설이 반드시 노이스터인 것은 아니다
기원과 역사
Named for the direction the winds blow from during these storms — the northeast. The term has been used by sailors and meteorologists along the Eastern Seaboard for centuries. The apostrophe in nor'easter reflects the pronunciation, though some purists argue 'northeaster' is more correct.
