According to forbes.com a powerful nor’easter affected the East Coast at the beginning of January 2018 and brought heavy snow from the swamps of southern Georgia to the Canadian Maritimes. Not only noteworthy for being the south's second major snowstorm of the year, the storm explosively intensified as it traveled up the coast. This rapid intensification is known as bombogenesis. A few storms in the United States achieve bombogenesis every year, but this storm was impressive for its deepening. The January 2018 storm deepened 54 millibars in 24 hours, reportedly setting a record for this part of the western Atlantic Ocean.
