From what I've read the one listed as the arctic hole is actually
located near the Northeastern part of the United States.  The only photo
I've seen (many years ago) showed the arctic hole beginning near Mass.
My, unscientific, guess at the time was that the inertia would move the
hole closer to the northern axis.
Although its been some time since I was initially interested what Fred
says is correct.  Why did I become un-interested?  When no one, locally,
gave a damm or even believed me.  They think its an iffie story at best.
That's why I am staying in Florida cause in a few years none of the
tourists will ever come here.  Why the UV burns will occur in an hour or
so....
