Question: The December 1992 nor'easter produced record high tides and snowfall across which country's northeastern region, along the Maryland coast, the storm was less severe than the Perfect Storm in the previous year, 1991, also known as The No-Name Storm (especially in the years immediately after it took place) and the Halloween Gale, was a nor'easter that absorbed Hurricane Grace and ultimately evolved back into a small unnamed hurricane late in its life cycle?
Context: Hurricane Grace was a short-lived Category 2 hurricane that contributed to the formation of the powerful 1991 Perfect Storm.  Forming on October 26, Grace initially had subtropical origins, meaning it was partially tropical and partially extratropical in nature.  It became a tropical cyclone on October 27, and ultimately peaked with winds of 90 kn .  The storm had minor effects on the island of Bermuda as it passed to the south.  A developing extratropical storm to the north turned Grace eastward; the hurricane was eventually absorbed into the large circulation of the larger low pressure system.  Fed by the contrast between cold air to the northwest and warm air from the remnants of Hurricane Grace, this storm became a large and powerful nor'easter that caused extremely high waves and resulted in severe coastal damage along the East Coast of the United States. The Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962 occurred on March 6–8, 1962 along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States.  Also known as the Great March Storm of 1962, it was considered by the U.S. Geological Survey to be one of the most destructive storms ever to affect the mid-Atlantic states.  Classified as a level 5 or Extreme Nor'easter by the Dolan-Davis scale for classification of Atlantic Nor'easters it was one of the ten worst storms in the United States in the 20th century.  It lingered through five high tides over a three-day period, killing 40 people, injuring over 1,000, and causing hundreds of millions in property damage in six states.  The storm also deposited significant snowfall over the Southeast, with a regional snowfall index of 12.663. The 1991 Halloween blizzard was powerful storm that caused a period of heavy snowfall and ice accumulation, which affected parts of the Upper Midwest of the United States, from October 31 to November 3, 1991.  Over the last week of October 1991 a large storm system over the Atlantic Ocean (1991 Perfect Storm) blocked most of the weather patterns over the eastern half of the United States, and in turn moisture from the Gulf of Mexico was funneled straight northward over the affected region.  By the time the precipitation stopped falling many cities in the eastern half of Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin had witnessed record early-season snowfall accumulations, while parts of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa were crippled by a large ice storm.  Arctic air that was pulled southward behind the storm had combined with the heavy snow pack to produce many record low temperatures.  Between the blizzard and the ice storm 22 people were killed and over 100 were injured. Tropical Storm Josephine was an unusual Atlantic tropical storm that moved from west to east across the Gulf of Mexico in October 1996.  It formed on October 4 as a tropical depression from the remnants of a cold front.  Early in its duration, the system interacted with a ridge over the central United States, which produced strong winds and high tides along the Texas coast.  The outer rainbands caused flooding rainfall in southern Texas, and in Louisiana, high tides flooded roads and stranded residents on Grand Isle.  Moving generally to the east due to a trough, the depression intensified into a tropical storm on October 6, and the next day reached peak winds of 70 mph while approaching the west coast of Florida.  Josephine made landfall in Taylor County near peak intensity early on October 8, and soon after became extratropical.  While moving ashore, the storm produced a high storm surge reaching 9.3 ft in Suwannee.  High tides flooded about 3,600 houses along the west coast.  Josephine also produced heavy rainfall, which flooded hundreds of winds, and high winds, which left 400,000 people without power.  The storm also spawned at least 16 tornadoes, one of which damaged 130 homes. The March 1960 nor'easter was a severe winter storm that impacted the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions of the United States.  The storm ranked as Category 4, or "crippling", on the Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale.  Northeasterly flow, combined with the storm's slower forward motion, enhanced snowfall across the region.  The cyclone began moving away from the United States on March 5.  It took place during a stormy period in the affected region, contributing to record snowfall The 1991 Perfect Storm, also known as The No-Name Storm (especially in the years immediately after it took place) and the Halloween Gale, was a nor'easter that absorbed Hurricane Grace and ultimately evolved back into a small unnamed hurricane late in its life cycle.  The initial area of low pressure developed off Atlantic Canada on October 29.  Forced southward by a ridge to its north, it reached its peak intensity as a large and powerful cyclone.  The storm lashed the east coast of the United States with high waves and coastal flooding before turning to the southwest and weakening.  Moving over warmer waters, the system transitioned into a subtropical cyclone before becoming a tropical storm.  It executed a loop off the Mid-Atlantic states and turned toward the northeast.  On November 1 the system evolved into a full-fledged hurricane with peak winds of 75 miles per hour (120 km/h), although the National Hurricane Center left it unnamed to avoid confusion amid media interest in the predecessor extratropical storm.  It later received the name "the Perfect Storm" (playing off the common expression) after a conversation between Boston National Weather Service forecaster Robert Case and author Sebastian Junger.  The system was the fourth hurricane and final tropical cyclone in the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season.  The tropical system weakened, striking Nova Scotia as a tropical storm before dissipating. The 2011 Halloween nor'easter, sometimes referred to as "Snowtober" and "Storm Alfred", was a large low pressure area that produced unusually early snowfall across the northeastern United States and the Canadian Maritimes.  It formed early on October 29 along a cold front to the southeast of the Carolinas.  As it moved up the East Coast, its associated snowfall broke records in at least 20 cities for total accumulations, resulting in a rare "white Halloween" two days later. Hurricane Donna was the strongest hurricane of the 1960 Atlantic hurricane season, and caused severe damage to the Lesser Antilles, the Greater Antilles, and the East Coast of the United States, especially Florida, in August–September.  The fifth tropical cyclone, third hurricane, and first major hurricane of the season, Donna developed south of Cape Verde on August 29, spawned by a tropical wave to which 63 deaths from a plane crash in Senegal were attributed.  The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Donna by the following day.  Donna moved west-northwestward at roughly and by September 1, it reached hurricane status.  Donna deepened significantly and reached its peak intensity early on September 4, with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h).  Thereafter, it weakened slightly as it brushed the Lesser Antilles later that day.  On Sint Maarten, the storm left a quarter of the island's population homeless and killed seven people.  An additional five deaths were reported in Anguilla, and there were seven other fatalities throughout the Virgin Islands.  In Puerto Rico, severe flash flooding led to 107 fatalities, 85 of them in Humacao alone.  Donna further weakened to a Category 3 hurricane late on September 5, but eventually became a Category 4 hurricane again.  While passing through The Bahamas, several small island communities in the central regions of the country were leveled, but no damage total or fatalities were reported. The December 1992 nor'easter produced record high tides and snowfall across the northeastern United States.  It developed as a low pressure area on December 10 over Virginia, and for two days it remained over the Mid-Atlantic states before moving offshore.  In Maryland, the snowfall unofficially reached 48 in ; if verified, the total would have been the highest in the state's history.  About 120,000 people were left without power in the state due to high winds.  Along the Maryland coast, the storm was less severe than the Perfect Storm in the previous year, although the strongest portion of the storm remained over New Jersey for several days.  In the state, winds reached 80 mph in Cape May, and tides peaked at 10.4 ft in Perth Amboy.  The combination of high tides and 25 ft waves caused the most significant flooding in the state since the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962.  Several highways and portions of the New York City Subway and Port Authority Trans-Hudson systems were closed due to the storm.  Throughout New Jersey, the nor'easter damaged about 3,200 homes and caused an estimated $750 million in damage (1992 USD). The early January 2017 North American winter storm was a major snow and ice storm that affected the Lower 48 of the United States with severe weather.  Moving ashore on the West Coast on January 3, the system produced heavy snowfall in the Sierra Mountains, with nearly 4 feet of snowfall falling in the highest elevations.  After impacting the Northwest and Southwest, the winter storm went on to strike the Southeast on January 5–6 with snow and ice, with snowfall accumulations up to 4 in .  Afterwards, it began to morph into a nor'easter as it moved off the Southeast coast late on January 6, while producing blizzard conditions in the Carolinas.  It then began to affect the Northeastern United States as it tracked northwards early on January 7.  It produced a swath of moderate snowfall accumulations up the East Coast, with easternmost areas such as parts of Massachusetts receiving up to 1.5 ft of snow.
