caption_attribution_description: English: Visible satellite imagery of the December 2010 North American Superstorm (a.k.a the December 2010 North American blizzard), at peak intensity off the coast of Cape Cod, Massashusettes, showing an eye-like feature typical of nor'easters. The storm is a nor'easter on December 27, at the time that this picture was taken. The system later went on to become Windstorm Benjamin in Europe, before it finally dissipated on January 15. (The image has been slightly brightened to better reveal the details of the storm.)
