A developing nor'easter was beginning to bear down on the Northeast on Thursday, bringing major weather changes to the region. AccuWeather meteorologists, who have been keeping tabs on the storm all week, warn that it will strengthen quickly enough to unleash a soaking rain and colder air in New England and the upper part of the mid-Atlantic and a heavy snowfall in the higher elevations in true nor'easter fashion into Friday.
A nor'easter is simply any large storm that brings northeasterly winds along the Atlantic coast of North America, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) definition.
