Transcription
Origin and usage
Before the early 1990s, the phrases "storm of the century" or "perfect storm" were generally used to describe unusually large or destructive storms.[1] The term "superstorm" was employed in 1993 by the National Weather Service to describe a Nor'easter in March of that year.[2] The term is most frequently used to describe a weather pattern that is as destructive as a hurricane, but which exhibits the cold-weather patterns of a winter storm.[3]
