A word on nor'easters

In the last post I spoke about Monday's impending storm and the fact that it will be a result of a classic "nor'easter". I received an e-mail asking what a nor'easter is. The following sites provide some reading for those of you who want to learn a little bit about the kind of storm system that will be moving through Halifax on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

The Blog was initiated as part of the inaugural "Sustainability Across the Curriculum" workshop, held at SMU on May 12, 2010. This is part of the Teacher Scholar programme for 2010-2011. If you have any posts, curriculum, ideas or inspired content that you would like to include, please send it to Dr. Cathy Conrad, the 2010-2011 Teaching Scholar, Associate Professor of the Department of Geography. I look forward to moderating this site and linking useful and relevant information. I hope you find it useful!
