December 15–17, 2020 nor'easter

From December 15–17, 2020, a powerful nor'easter, unofficially named Winter Storm Gail by the Weather Channel and various media outlets, hammered the Northeastern United States and produced widespread swaths of over 1 foot (12 in) of snow in much of the region, ending a 1,000+ day high-impact snowstorm drought in much of the Mid-Atlantic and coastal New England regions. The system developed out of a weak area of low-pressure that first developed over the Central United States producing some snowfall before moving eastward, and by December 16, a new, dominant area of low pressure began to develop along the Southeast coast.
