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?

 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. The December 1992 nor'easter produced record high tides and snowfall across the northeastern United States.  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). <SEP> 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. <SEP> 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. <SEP>  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 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 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.
