From February 6–8, 2021, a strong and fast-moving nor'easter, sometimes known as the 2021 Super Bowl Sunday nor'easter, and unofficially named Winter Storm Quade by The Weather Channel, impacted the Mid-Atlantic and New England states on Super Bowl Sunday, just days after another significant nor'easter impacted the same general regions. Developing on February 6 along a stationary front in the Southern United States and moving northeastward, the imminent impacts from the nor'easter forced several vaccination sites in the Northeast to temporarily close again for the following days. The storm caused one indirect death, and damage estimates are currently undetermined.
