Oh! I've heard that one in the wild, I wasn't really sure the meaning.

It is a specific type of storm and though the word sounds like something a yokel would say it is a real term.

>A nor'easter (also northeaster; see below), or an East Coast low is a synoptic-scale extratropical cyclone in the western North Atlantic Ocean. The name derives from the direction of the winds that blow from the northeast. The original use of the term in North America is associated with storms that impact the upper north Atlantic coast of the United States and the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Typically, such storms originate as a low-pressure area that forms within 100 miles (160 km) of the shore between North Carolina and Massachusetts.

>nor’easter
That is a broadly used term. It is called that because of their northeasterly winds..
