What is Ner' Easter?

Question

The teacher say I have to include What, When, Where, How? -.-
The topic of that class was weather, so I figured I could put this question in this section.

Answer 1

Its nor'easter and to answer your question:

Who--generally affects New Englanders and their Canadian friends up north where the storm front hits
What--strong storm carrying cold, wet winds that can assume the characteristics of a hurricane (e.g., the eye in the center)
When--winter time, February is high season for nor'easters
Where--north east U.S. around the New England states
Why--Arctic air pushes its way south as the jet stream moves southward along the eastern Atlantic coastline
How--low pressure front with cold winds and rain comes south when the high pressure fronts normally associated with summer head south and let the jet streams come further south
How much--several times a year if you count the weak ones, but in winter time

Answer 2

A Nor' Easter is a storm off the coast of New England. Storms rotate counterclockwise so a storm off the coast would mean winds from the northeast. In addition, the storm's location allows it to dump large amounts of moisture, usually in the form of snow. The northeast wind also drives the ocean into the land causing coastal flooding.

Answer 3

This is a New England term for a storm that blows in from the northeast. It's spelled nor'easter. It brings high winds and heavy rain (or snow). When? More common in fall and winter. How? Beats me!

Answer 4

It's Nor'easter, a contraction of Northeaster---it's a storm.

No idea. Perhaps your teacher mis-spelt it and means: Nor'easter
