Another major nor’easter takes aim at U.S. just days after the last one

In a typical winter, residents of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast might see one or two big storms, known in the region as nor’easters, because of the strong northeasterly winds that accompany them. This winter, however, is not ordinary. 

The second in what may turn out to be a string of three back-to-back nor’easters is set to hit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast starting late Tuesday night, and lasting into Wednesday night. Like the last storm that brought damaging winds, coastal flooding, and heavy rain and snow, this one will also have its array of hazards.
