Question: Which hurricane did this nor'easter that happened a year before the December 1992 nor'easter absorb and evolve back into a small hurricane?

<P0-S0> Herbivores are dependent on plants for food, and have coevolved mechanisms to obtain this food despite the evolution of a diverse arsenal of plant defenses against herbivory. <P0-S1>  Herbivore adaptations to plant defense have been likened to "offensive traits" and consist of those traits that allow for increased feeding and use of a host. <P0-S2>  Plants, on the other hand, protect their resources for use in growth and reproduction, by limiting the ability of herbivores to eat them. <P0-S3>  Relationships between herbivores and their host plants often results in reciprocal evolutionary change. <P0-S4>  When a herbivore eats a plant it selects for plants that can mount a defensive response, whether the response is incorporated biochemically or physically, or induced as a counterattack. <P0-S5>  In cases where this relationship demonstrates "specificity" (the evolution of each trait is due to the other), and "reciprocity" (both traits must evolve), the species are thought to have coevolved. <P0-S6>  The escape and radiation mechanisms for coevolution, presents the idea that adaptations in herbivores and their host plants, has been the driving force behind speciation. <P0-S7>  The coevolution that occurs between plants and herbivores that ultimately results in the speciation of both can be further explained by the Red Queen hypothesis. <P0-S8>  This hypothesis states that competitive success and failure evolve back and forth through organizational learning. <P0-S9>  The act of an organism facing competition with another organism ultimately leads to an increase in the organism's performance due to selection. <P0-S10>  This increase in competitive success then forces the competing organism to increase its performance through selection as well, thus creating an "arms race" between the two species. <P0-S11>  Herbivores evolve due to plant defenses because plants must increase their competitive performance first due to herbivore competitive success. <SEP> <P1-S0> The December 1992 nor'easter produced record high tides and snowfall across the northeastern United States. <P1-S1>  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. <P1-S2>  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. <P1-S3>  In Maryland, the snowfall unofficially reached 48 in ; if verified, the total would have been the highest in the state's history. <P1-S4>  About 120,000 people were left without power in the state due to high winds. <P1-S5>  In the state, winds reached 80 mph in Cape May, and tides peaked at 10.4 ft in Perth Amboy. <P1-S6>  The combination of high tides and 25 ft waves caused the most significant flooding in the state since the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962. <P1-S7>  Several highways and portions of the New York City Subway and Port Authority Trans-Hudson systems were closed due to the storm. <P1-S8>  Throughout New Jersey, the nor'easter damaged about 3,200 homes and caused an estimated $750 million in damage (1992 USD). <SEP> <P2-S0> The history of Atlantic tropical cyclone warnings details the progress of tropical cyclone warnings in the north Atlantic Ocean. <P2-S1>  The first service was set up in the 1870s from Cuba with the work of Father Benito Viñes. <P2-S2>  After his death, hurricane warning services were assumed by the United States Signal Corp and United States Weather Bureau over the next few decades, first based in Jamaica and Cuba before shifting to Washington, D.C.. <P2-S3>  The central office in Washington, which would evolve into the National Meteorological Center and the Weather Prediction Center, assumed the responsibilities by the early 20th century. <P2-S4>  This responsibility passed to regional hurricane offices in 1935, and the concept of the Atlantic hurricane season was established in order to keep a vigilant lookout for tropical cyclones during certain times of the year. <P2-S5>  Hurricane advisories issued every six hours by the regional hurricane offices began at this time. <SEP> <P3-S0>  The initial area of low pressure developed off Atlantic Canada on October 29. <P3-S1>  Forced southward by a ridge to its north, it reached its peak intensity as a large and powerful cyclone. <P3-S2>  The storm lashed the east coast of the United States with high waves and coastal flooding before turning to the southwest and weakening. <P3-S3>  Moving over warmer waters, the system transitioned into a subtropical cyclone before becoming a tropical storm. <P3-S4>  It executed a loop off the Mid-Atlantic states and turned toward the northeast. <P3-S5> 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. <P3-S6>  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. <P3-S7>  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. <P3-S8>  The system was the fourth hurricane and final tropical cyclone in the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season. <P3-S9>  The tropical system weakened, striking Nova Scotia as a tropical storm before dissipating.
