It's actually a "Knorr Easter", which is a peculiar form of self-denial involving the avoidance of chocolate eggs and replacement with cups of soup made from reconstituted house dust.

A large storm whose winds come from the northeast, especially in the coastal areas of the Northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada. More specifically, it describes a low pressure area whose center of rotation is just off the coast and whose leading winds in the left forward quadrant rotate onto land from the northeast. The precipitation pattern is similar to other extratropical storms. They also can cause coastal flooding, coastal erosion and gale force winds.

It is actually a paraphrase from Joe Biden. When interviewed by a news reporter he was asked "What is his favorite holiday icon?..His response was "Santa Claus" ' It's a shame you don't see him around at Halloween, Thanksgiving, nor Easter.

Nor'easter is an accepted form of describing a particular type of storm. See other answers. Literally, it is northeaster.
