Winter in Canada is much different than winter in other countries. For one, it is much longer. Winter lasts about six to eight months, and it can be unbearably cold. The days are significantly shorter than summer, which makes it that much harder to wake up for the day at school or at work. Having to shovel the driveway isn’t Canadians favorite pastime at seven in the morning when they are going to be late for work. Also what needs to be taken into account is making sure the car is plugged in during the night. When that is forgotten in the cold days of winter, it is pretty hard to get anywhere because no car would start if it was sitting outside.

This will result in people losing their homes, which will cause the people to migrate to different parts of this province, or even possibly moving to other provinces.

Some of the strategies Andy has proposed to keep the business viable include using modern techniques to manage snow and making more snow using science. The

In eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec during the early 1998 winter months the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico met the cold northern air, which created a monstrous ice storm that devastated many people's lives. After the cold and warm air met the warm air rose above the cold air creating clouds, as a result snow and rain fell from the clouds resulting in a blizzard. Since the air was freezing cold the water droplets froze and a sheet of ice on top of snow covered everything, the ice storm had begun. Due to the fact that the weather didn’t let off there was continuous freezing rain for five days. The ice piled up on trees and power lines was to heavy for them to withstand the weight therefore the power lines and trees snapped. The fallen trees

The winter break with snow falling was common for others, but for me, it was more than usual. Overall, Georgian barely receive snows. I came to America on January 13, 2011, at night and it was my first time seeing the snow. I was surprised and unknown about snow. Back in Nepal, I never received snow. Besides, I thought snow never existed on earth. When I first observed the snow at the beginning of new life in America, I thought something was going wrong, and we were about to die.

Breathing difficulties, hypothermia (intense fall in body temperatures) and frostbite can take place due to the low air pressures and temperatures. During blizzards, with the combination of cold temperatures and strong winds, very low wind coldness values can occur. It is not uncommon below -60F during blizzard conditions. Exposure to such low wind freeze values can result in frostbite or hypothermia.
