No. Nor'easters and hurricanes are different classes of storm, though they do share some characteristics. A hurricane and a nor'easter are both intense cyclones, which are large-scale low pressure systems with an organized circulation. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone, gaining energy from the moisture that comes from warm ocean water. A nor'easter is an extratropical or mid-latitude cyclone, gaining its energy from the instability created by clashing air masses.
