The January 25–27, 2011 nor'easter was a major Mid-Atlantic nor'easter that affected portions of the northeastern United States and Canada. This storm came just two weeks after a previous major nor'easter had already affected most of these same areas earlier on the same month of January 2011. The storm also came just one month after a previous major blizzard that affected the entire area after Christmas in December 2010. This storm was the third significant snowstorm to affect the region during the 2010–11 North American winter storm season. It was followed a few days later by another massive storm that blanketed much of the United States and Canada.
