It is March. In like a lion, out like a lamb.

FYI: It is Northeastern, anything else is NE ebonics.

That's odd. Even though I've lived out west my entire life, I've always heard this type of storm referred to as a Nor'Easter. Always, be it on US or Canadian broadcasts.

It’s a very old term, nautical origin. It’s used even on the southeastern Atlantic coast.
