The December 2009 North American blizzard was a powerful nor'easter that formed over the Gulf of Mexico in December 2009, and became a major snowstorm that affected the East Coast of the United States and Canadian Atlantic provinces. The snowstorm brought record-breaking December snowfall totals to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia.
As the system moved towards the East Coast, snowfall rates began to increase to 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) per hour. The storm began to accelerate, and began to crank out the last burst of snowfall along the affected areas before moving offshore. Total snowfall accumulations ranged from 8–14 inches (20–36 cm), mainly in North Carolina. [11]

Only category 1 and higher storms as defined by their regional snowfall index are included here.
