According to that the sea ice extent has been increasingly slightly in the last few days- so the minimum likely wont be in early October? Is this still the latest we've ever seen the minimum, Chris?
Chris, we've been setting records like this in different parts of the world's oceans for a few years now. What year had our latest sea ice minimum and does it look like we could break that record this year (with a sea ice minimum as late as October for the first time ever?)
I agree, some people need to look up their definitions of what a noreaster is and when it can occur. We've had some in the summer also.
Nor'easters are most often associated with strong winter storms crawling up the Northeast coast, but snow isn't a requirement for such a storm. These storms are most frequent and strongest between September and April, but can occur any time of the year.Mar 1, 2018
What is a Nor'easter?
Noreaster season should be considered as lasting through April as we have gotten some rather big ones in April (some rain some snow.) Tax Day noreaster in 2007 was one of the biggest on record, not to mention April 1982, 1983, 1996, 1997, 2003, etc.
Why does the 2044 eclipse end suddenly over the Dakotas? And why does the 2079 eclipse begin suddenly around NE PA and not occur west of there?
And is the 2045 eclipse going to be over 6 minutes in Orlando? Looks like St. Louis, MO and Carbondale, IL will get both the 2017 and 2024 eclipses' totality!
Thanks I already booked a hotel for Watertown, NY for the 2024 eclipse, going right up I-81! Wish we'd live to be around for the NYC-Boston eclipse of 2079 lol.
Even if its cloudy for the upcoming eclipse, you can sneak in a small period of partly sunny skies like I had with an annular eclipse a few years back and got to witness 90% of totality through 10x50 binoculars for 10 sec lol.
