It's an old expression referring to (mostly) winter storms coming up the east coast and the winds blowing from the northeast (thus a "nor'easter").

The weather has been totally whacky here. A MAJOR hurricane, then a good-sized nor'easter with snow and this weekend will be unseasonably warm with temperatures in the 60s. All within a two-week span. eek
