'''The 2005-06 Nor'easter Season''' lasted from [[October]], [[2005]] to [[April]], [[2006]], though Nor'easter Cameron continued into May and Danielle formed in June. The season ended with four nor'easters, and one extratropical low.

==December==
===Nor'easter 1===
{{main|December 2005 Nor'easter}}
On [[December 9]], [[2005]], a minor [[Nor'easter]] formed. It dropped over twelve inches of snow in some places. Little else is known about it.

==January==
No nor'easters were recorded this month.

==February==
===Nor'easter Alfred===
{{main|Blizzard of 2006}}

[[Image:GreatBlizzardof2006.jpg|thumb|right|150px]]
Nor'easter Alfred formed on [[February 11]], [[2006]] like all typical [[Nor'easter|Nor'easters]] do. It was first recorded for the season over eastern [[North Carolina]], just about to strike the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. It then moved north-northeast and its remnants are now heading off the [[Canadian Maritimes]]. After the Nor'easter became very minor over [[Maine]], it continued to the [[Canadian Maritimes]]. At that point, snowfall had decreased to 6-12 inches deep, but the winds reached 70 miles in many areas. One gust reached 97 miles per hour.  It had dropped snow from [[Arkansas]] to the [[Canadian Maritimes]], probably reaching up to 19 inches deep in some areas. It also set a record in [[New York City]] for the most snow in one storm: twenty-seven inches and 24 inches in [[Hartford]]. The storm was so powerful at one point, it formed an "[[eyewall|eye]]", but was not a [[Tropical Cyclone]]. It dissapated on the [[February 13|13<sup>th</sup>]].

====Casualties====
In a Reuters news article found on Yahoo News titled [http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060212/ts_nm/weather_northeast_dc Northeast US hammered by record blizzard] states that two casulties occured as a result of the snow, in Virginia, a man died due to his truck sliding off of a Virginia highway and in Baltimore, a person died in a house fire as a result of snow delaying rescue workers from getting to the fire. A third fatality occured in a weather-related accident in [[Nova Scotia]]. [http://www.cbc.ca/ns/story/ns-snow-day20060213.html]

==March==
===Extratropical Low Barry===
[[Image:Img-2006-03-06-15-GOE-12-VS.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Barry emerging into the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]].]]Extratropical Low Barry developed on [[March 6]], [[2006]], just off of the Southeast coast of the [[United States]]. But the Low moved farther out to sea and failed to develop into a Nor'easter. It disappated on the [[March 8|8<sup>th</sup>]].

==April==
===Nor'easter Cameron===
<!--[[Image:91LINVEST06.jpg|thumb|right|150px| {{FFDC|91LINVEST06.jpg|???|date=March 2012}}]]-->
Cameron formed east of North Carolina on [[April 28]]. It began to develop, and in addition to becoming a rainy Nor'easer, it was designated as 91L Invest. It reached maximum winds of 30 mph before it became more disorganized. It dissippated on [[May 1]], one day over the season's end.

==May==
No systems formed this month.

==June==
Although not part of the original Nor'easter season, a noreaster-like low did manage to form.

===Nor'easter Danielle===
[[Image:Junenoreaster.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The large Nor'easter Danielle at peak intensity]]
A frontal low came off the coast of North carolina after causing sparratic rainshowers across the state. It seemed to fuse with a tropical wave on [[June 6]] and began to show signs of convection on [[June 7]], thus becoming a nor'easter. The late season Nor'easter Danielle began to absorb the wave and bring 50 mph wind gusts and torrential rainfall to parts of the northeast. Not much else is known on the storm. Late on the 7th, it began to resemble a subtropical cyclone, much like a noreaster in December 1994. Rumors surfaced about Nor'easter Danielle becoming Subtropical Storm Alberto. If Danielle became subtropical, it failed to be recognized by the NHC and went unnamed. Danielle dissapated on June 8th. At the end of the frontal boudary Danielle left behind, an area of convection developed. This convection contributed to the formation of 90L INVEST, and eventually [[Tropical Storm Alberto (2006)|Tropical Storm Alberto]].

==Retirement==
The retired names from the season will be anounced in October 2006. Any thoughts are purely speculative, though Alfred will likely be retired.
